Raccoon tracks

Often we do not see the raccoons themselves, but we see their tracks! Here are some of our top raccoon tracks. Raccoon tracks resemble small human hand prints with five long, slender toes and distinct palms. Sometimes the tips of claws are visible. A complete hind foot will have a long heel.
