*   Red fox tracks (top-left) — canine prints in the snow with a distinct shape and often a straight, single-file pattern behind one another.
*   Opossum tracks (top-right) — small, hand-like prints with five toes and opposable thumbs especially visible on hind feet.
*   Raccoon tracks (bottom-left) — look like tiny human hands with five forward-pointing digits.
*   Rat tracks (bottom-right) — much smaller, faint prints often with tiny claw marks, and sometimes tail drag marks visible between footprints.

If you want, I can also explain how to differentiate tracks by gait patterns (walking vs bounding vs hopping) in snow!

##### 🐾 What animal made these tracks?[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&veaction=edit&section=12 "Edit section: 🐾 What animal made these tracks?") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section's source code: 🐾 What animal made these tracks?")]

These are raccoon tracks. Very clearly and confidently 🦝

Let me walk you through why.

#### 1️⃣ The track shape: “tiny human hands”[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&veaction=edit&section=13 "Edit section: 1️⃣ The track shape: “tiny human hands”") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&action=edit&section=13 "Edit section's source code: 1️⃣ The track shape: “tiny human hands”")]

Look at your close-up photo:

You can see:

*   Five toes
*   Long, finger-like digits
*   A rounded “palm” pad

That is the hallmark of a raccoon. People often say raccoon tracks look like little baby hands in the snow — and that’s exactly what you’re seeing.

Foxes and rats do NOT have this shape:

*   Fox = 4 toes, dog-like
*   Rat = tiny, messy prints with tail drag
*   Opossum = five toes, but the hind foot has a sideways “thumb” — which yours do not

Your tracks show five forward-facing fingers → raccoon.

#### 2️⃣ The walking pattern seals it[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&veaction=edit&section=14 "Edit section: 2️⃣ The walking pattern seals it") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section's source code: 2️⃣ The walking pattern seals it")]

In your long photo, the tracks are in a:

*   Straight line
*   With pairs of prints side-by-side

That is a raccoon walking gait:

*   Front foot lands
*   Back foot lands just behind or beside it
*   Creates those neat little paired prints marching forward

Foxes walk in a single tight line Rats hop and leave tail lines Opossums leave splayed, awkward hand-and-thumb prints

Yours look tidy and deliberate → raccoon.

#### 3️⃣ Size check[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&veaction=edit&section=15 "Edit section: 3️⃣ Size check") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&action=edit&section=15 "Edit section's source code: 3️⃣ Size check")]

Based on the spacing and the width of the prints compared to the rocks:

*   These are too big for a rat
*   Too round for a fox
*   Too neat for an opossum

This is the size of a medium raccoon, probably an adult making a nightly patrol along the fence line.

#### 🦝 Why was it walking there?[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&veaction=edit&section=16 "Edit section: 🦝 Why was it walking there?") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&action=edit&section=16 "Edit section's source code: 🦝 Why was it walking there?")]

That narrow fence-line path is a perfect raccoon highway:

*   Sheltered from wind
*   Protected from predators
*   Often used to travel between yards looking for: - Trash - Pet food - Bird seed - Grubs - Or a warm crawl space

Your neighbor probably has:

*   A bird feeder
*   A trash can
*   Or a deck/garage with goodies

And this raccoon is making nightly rounds.

#### 🧠 Final verdict[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&veaction=edit&section=17 "Edit section: 🧠 Final verdict") | [edit source](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695ceb3d-0efc-800e-a720-91d18cd31f92&action=edit&section=17 "Edit section's source code: 🧠 Final verdict")]

100% raccoon tracks. No doubt about it.

If you want, next time it snows I can show you how to tell if:

*   It’s the same raccoon
*   How big it is
*   Or even whether it’s male or female based on stride 😄
