==== 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.
