Procyon lotor
Raccoons have an unusual way of walking where each hind foot lands next to the opposite front foot. Their prints show 5 long toes in the front and hind tracks. The track on the left is the left front and the track on the right is the right hind. Front tracks tend to splay wider than the hind. The palm pad of the hind track is usually larger.

Not that big, about the size of baby hands. Hind feet are 2 - 4 in. L x 1 - 3 in. W ; front feet 1.5 in. - 3 in. L x 2 - 3 in. W
Big
They look like little hands.
