Wildlife In The City

I've mentione before that we've lived in this house since 2003.  This is the first time I've seen animal tracks in my yard for anything beyond dogs, cats, and birds.  Last night it snowed and today the kids and I found some tracks in the backyard, around the side of the house, and to the front yard near the trash cans.  I'm a city kid so I Googled animal tracks which narrowed my options to raccoon or skunk.  Then I had to ask for help from my facebook friends to decide what the tracks were made by.  The verdict - RACCOON .
My four year-old has named it Wild Krat after the Krat brothers who do the TV shows on PBS.

Tracks with size-referencing materials ;o)

Tracks coming from under the back fence
