Just last night, as my motion detector beeped I saw just a flash of one scooting by in that Mode; for a few sec I thought it something New! on the scene. Took a bit to see that This raccoon was goin tip-toes. I note that the eyes seem more slanted--a hybrid in the mix?
Most of the ones here do the quadra-hump-bump (they have big butts, which is why they can't jump very well: some set-up feeding stations for ferals which require a modest leap for a cat/Rocky Raccoon can't follow.) My gravel-throwing countermeasures seem to have reduced their forays--especially when I score one hard on that big butt: have had a week or more of their absence.
I also don't see them ever in daylight, usually deep dusk or later.
