Walking back from watching a movie at my friends, as I went by the bridge I heard an unfamiliar sound. As I stood by to see what is was, I keep looking into the pitch-dark area and see some eyes the shine in the dark and at first glance I think it’s a cat. I waited for a few minutes and it slowly reveled it’s self and it was a raccoon that rose from the mill. I kept following it and it end up on the dumpster of Goudy. The raccoon was on a search for food and knew where to find it. Some of it’s characteristics where it’s black, white, brown and it’s long tail with strips. At first I though, it could be a skunk but just a raccoon looking for food. The raccoon seems to have a small head and a round big buddy with a long tail. I let it eat and notice that they do some of the something that squirrels do when they eat. They use there two paws and bite on it while holding any thing it s they are holding.
