Raccoon (Procyon lotor)
Murfree Spring Wetland, Murfreesboro TN USA
1/100 sec - f/7.1 - ISO 2000 - 8/8/018
Interesting Tidbit: The raccoon has the ability to rotate their hind feet a full 180 degrees
to allow for their ability to climb down from trees head first. On the mammal IQ scale
raccoons rank higher than cats and just below monkeys. Raccoons are more likely to be
killed by an automobile than by another predator. A raccoon can run at speeds of up to
15 miles per hour. ~Josh Mosley - Writer~

Raccoons are common here in middle Tennessee but, sadly, the only time I see them is as roadkill. 😞😔
