Procyon lotor
"The most important sense for the raccoon is its sense of touch. The "hyper sensitive" front paws are protected by a thin horny layer which becomes pliable when wet. The five digits of the paws have no webbing between them, which is unusual for a carnivoran. They are known to be highly intelligent animals."

Mary, you really have beautiful photos, and I love the connection I can see between you and them. I can definitely tell you love animals.
Thank you! :D
Oh my goodness, sweetest picture ever!
How precious!
Hehe, thanks. :) He's actually on a sort of rope-and-log bridge built between two trees in the enclosure. I always see one of the two raccoons hanging in it...They love it!
Is he rocking in a bird feeder? Very nice picture.
That is simply the cutest photo!! :)
Adorable!
