the box. or for raccoons getting into the box. it's a little test. and for berkeley researchers, there is a lot to learn. here's abc seven news anchor dan ashley. >> if they look like safecrackers knocking over a bank, you wouldn't be far off. they're wearing masks and they've got skills. berkeley researchers are studying the remarkable learning capacity of raccoon populations, particularly in urban environments like the bay area. >> a lot of folks think that raccoons are clever animals, and it's for that reason that we're really interested in studying them and how they are doing so well in cities. and so what part of their cleverness really aids them in their successful behavioral adaptations? at least for. >> yeah, lawrence stanton and professor chris schell showed us the compact wildlife cameras they use to document raccoon behavior. the experiments often involve a combination of risk and reward, with lab built puzzles containing a foraging treat like pet food. in this case, the animals have to figure

out how to open the black tube to get the reward. >> so here you can see there's a raccoon in the background and then two raccoons in the foreground. they're both working hard, you know, to open the puzzle. one is kind of focused on the body of the tube and is able to get the cap off. >> but they say the research isn't just about how quickly the raccoons learn, but the forces driving them to take on something new and unfamiliar in an early study, only about a quarter of the animals solved the puzzle, many of them juveniles. >> so this is a new thing they haven't seen before. it smells really yummy, you know. are they interested in interacting with it? and this is giving us a measure of their risk taking behavior. so again, it's something new and it's intriguing. but it might be kind of risky to interact with. >> so could environment also be playing a role. professor schell points to the kind of differences that might influence humans in wealthier or poorer neighborhoods. traffic, tree cover, availability of other food, the behavioral strategies for living in these two different environments are wildly different, and it stands

to reason that the strategies to just survive in those two different neighborhoods and environments are also wildly different. >> and that's the case for raccoons and for humans. >> a mirror of our own behavior, influenced by the challenges we face, reminding us we're all residents of the ecosystems we create and support, and those lessons help us to build better cities, help us to manage wild populations better. >> help us to pinpoint the areas that need more access to public goods and resources and equity in this entire conversation is one not just of society, but also of conservation. >> so while the research is documenting that raccoons can be quick learners, they may have lessons to teach us as well. dan ashley, abc seven news. >> wow. well, the puzzles are part of an exhibit now on display at the california academy of sciences here in san francisco. it's called california state of nature. and

i can tell you, these raccoons are very smart around my trash can, too. >> oh, yeah. absolutely. we can see the breeze here blowing. that's one element in san francisco that is keeping temperatures up in the upper 40s, where the calm winds have dropped numbers near freezing in our east bay and north bay valleys. so the freeze warning continues in the north bay valleys, although it's just as cold or even colder out towards our east bay. so we'll talk about that and the chance of

chilly temperatures around the bay and the activity in the pacific northwest again. and we will be the recipients the tail end tomorrow of a system that kind of falls apart. but as for today, more sunshine to start the day and freezing temperatures over in danville at 32 degrees. so bundle up or stay inside for a little bit. we've

got upper 30s fremont and livermore. you can see mid 40s, sfo and upper 30s. half moon bay 34. santa rosa 33. calistoga. so, so far the coldest number in our east bay valleys. 39 in novato, and will continue to see that freeze warning right through 8:00. so our temperatures will begin to recover. the 9:00 hour. so this morning we've got the freezing cold, the clear sky, light winds, mainly sunny, some high clouds. today that rough surf continues. our coastal flood advisory. and then for your sunday spotty light showers with mostly cloudy skies. so here's a look at the high surf advisory that takes us through the next few hours. 8 to 10 foot here. and it has been really pretty dangerous right along the coast. half moon bay the waves have been huge and as a result, we also have the alignment with the moon, allowing for the coastal flood advisory through tomorrow. and we've certainly had some flooding here. low lying parking lots, some of the sloughs, marshes here allowing for some flooding and some of the roads

closed, but not a huge deal, but enough to be aware of. our level one system arrives tomorrow. scattered showers, slippery roads and the king tides allowing for that minor flooding. so let's take you through the next couple of days starting out with that clear and cold start, second half of the day, the clouds today, and then into your sunday morning you can see 1030 some showers already in the north bay. mostly cloudy throughout the afternoon, stopping this throughout the evening hours and most of us dry, but a few spotty showers here and there. and then as we get into monday, it's sunny and it's another chilly night in terms of rainfall for the level one system on sunday. very little couple hundredths here, 1/100, maybe 4 to 5 one hundredths from fremont to livermore. even the niners could get their heads wet tomorrow. but look at where all the rain goes all week long. the pacific northwest. so really kind of typical of our week. a la nina pattern where we're seeing the focus of the rain. northern california, the pacific

northwest. ten inches in eureka. and then we get down to san jose in the bay area for the week ahead. several chances of rain, but they turn out to too much. not really. kind of a lot like last week where we favored the north bay. the north bay did get some good downpours and the east bay, but overall most of the rain heading to the north 62 with sun to start increasing. clouds over in the east bay 63 in san jose we'll call it mainly sunny to start out. then the high clouds, the accuweather seven day forecast level one system for sunday. that weak system bright on monday, cold monday night and then that chance of showers for your wednesday. getting milder though temperatures warming up by the second half of the workweek. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. on the court now golden state faced memphis last night at chase center in a physical nba cup game. and we most likely saw the pass of the year coming from one of the dubs. here's abc seven sports director larry beil. >> good morning everybody. after their emotional win in klay

thompson's return, the warriors had to find the same intensity last night against memphis, an nba cup game at chase center. so how would steph follow up on his 37 point performance on tuesday a pass of the year candidate right here brandon pisemsky behind the back. is he going out of bounds jonathan kuminga finishes at the other end. worth another look. pods into the first row. how much you pay for those tickets? nice to meet you warriors up by seven at the break. nine players had at least eight points for the dubs. buddy hield leading the way with 18. beats the eight foot nine inch zach edey i know he's seven four but he looks eight foot 910 point lead in the third. curry full court pressure playing some d forces the steal. and this would be his cleanest look all night. curry held to a mere 13 points. didn't play the fourth quarter game was out of hand. steve kerr says he wants trace jackson-davis playing with more force. this would be that with authority. warriors up by as many as 24. remember the grizz don't have ja morant. he's hurt. real fireworks happened late. draymond green two technicals in the final two minutes. he gets tossed kerr got teed up as well

after the game kerr was as hot as we've seen him in a long tim. going after the young ref who was handed out the ts. warriors win 123, 118. kerr still hot during his press conference. >> i'm going to choose not to not to speak on the officiating last quarter and a half. it was disgusting. i felt bad for our fans having to watch just what transpired. just the, you know, but great win there. >> ten and two warriors will host all star weekend in february. sounds like steph and walnut creek sabrina ionescu will have a rematch of their three point shootout, possibly to be joined by klay thompson and caitlin clark. the format for the actual all star game, where nobody's been playing defense for a while, that could go to a four team format. two short games and the winners meet for the title. nfl. george kittle. he went to iowa, lost a bet. had to wear ucla gear this week. 49 ers host seattle on sunday. remember kittle had two touchdowns in the previous meeting up in seattle. george and fullback kyle juszczyk went jumping into the stands to hug

their wives. now the niners are five and four trying to string some wins together. seattle is reeling. they had a fast start but have dropped four of five, so kittle is expecting seattle's best. >> whenever you're playing a team who has high aspirations preseason and you know started the season off well like their backs are against the wall. you know kind of how hearts have been the past couple of weeks. and when you go against a team like that very dangerous. probably going to take more risks. you know it's a huge nfc matchup for us. and in the division. so it's people throw around must win. but you know it's one of those we dropped two already in the division. so we kind of have to win this one. >> let's get ready to buffer. netflix presenting 58 year old mike tyson against 27 year old jake paul. now, for years, tyson was the baddest man on the planet. looked okay early, tired, quickly. took some punches. the bout went for eight fairly uneventful rounds. nothing close to a knockout. paul, a winner by decision. he supposedly made $40 million for this bout. tyson 20 million. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend, everybody.

i'm larry beil. >> now, if you watched the match, you might have noticed some issues with the stream. you're not the only one downdetector.com reported over 85,000 users experienced a netflix outage. this is not the first outage for a streaming platform. other live or highly anticipated events sparked technical issues and spikes in user traffic are often to blame in these situations, but netflix has not commented yet on the incident. a reminder that you can watch all our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv i love you.
