Raccoon's back foot.

This is the back foot of the raccoon. Very interesting. The raccoon was reaching outside of the trap with it's front paws a good five inches. It was reaching past what would be its "elbow". It shredded the cover over the trap. It also went through about 3/4 inch wood to make a big enough hole to go into an attic. Last year raccoons made a much larger hole. It was a good foot and half long and about a half a foot wide.
