Here’s another one from the backyard trap. Unfortunately, my hidden backlight wasn’t working for this exposure, but the raccoon was looking toward the single flash coming from the side so it worked out nicely. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/14 at 1/250th of a second, Cognisys camera box, trail monitor and remote flash.
Those things are bloodthirsty, fierce and give no quarter. My older brother had one as a pet when I was a little kid. She was spayed and raised from before she was weaned, so she was sweet and of good temper. I have some of these in my neighborhood now and they wreck havoc in my yard and with my plants. When confronted they are formattable. All the same, they are awfully cute.

Ooohh Mr. Raccoon, what a nice soft coat you have!
Like my grandpa always said, “When a raccoon can stand upright, it’s time for him or her to get a job.”
That’s quite a classy pose she’s got there.
