Procyon lotor
This Raccoon was photographed around 2004 with a game cam. I originally posted it on my blog here. Here is the story:
This is from a year or so ago. I thought the
pics were lost but I came across them while sorting through back up
files. I had just built the walkway behind my house, and had to put some
sod around it to replace the grass I had removed. I noticed that every
morning, the sod would be turned upside down or rolled back and drying
out. This happened for about 2 weeks before I finally got fed up and
borrowed a game camera to catch this sucker in the act. Raccoons, aka
Procyon lotor are very ingenuitive and are always out for an easy
meal. Since they haven't been able to get in our trash yet, this one was
doing a natural thing, uprooting my grass for insects. I covered the
vulnerable areas and he finally quit destroying my yard.
