Subject: A Quick Guide To Raccoon Scat

Okay so I know it's a gross topic, but raccoon scat actually has really important things to teach us about those little bandits moving around our creeks & neighborhoods.


Raccoon scat is fairly common but it’s also commonly misidentified because it has similar characteristics to the droppings of other animals.


Many people simply don’t know how to confidently tell raccoon scat from dog, coyote, fox or even otter scat.


And yet there are some extremely important dangers that trackers need to be aware of with raccoon scats because these often contain parasites!


In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that knowing how to accurately identify raccoon scat is an essential safety skill for anyone who spends lots of time in the woods (especially if you take kids in the woods).


So today's article will show you:

  • Exactly how to identify raccoon scat by appearance

  • Why you shouldn't rely on appearance alone for scat ID

  • How to dramatically improve your accuracy with contextual clues like scat placement, location & latrine configuration

  • Comparisons of raccoon scat with coyotes, foxes, dogs & otters

  • How to find raccoon scat by knowing where to check on the landscape

  • Essential keys to keep yourself safe from the dangers of hazardous parasites in raccoon scat

Check it out in today's Quick Guide To Raccoon Scat!

Enjoy!
