Raccoons and Ripe Corn

Viewers learn that teeth marks on twigs are a good sign that beavers are nearby. If they look closely on tree trunks, they might see tiny porcupine claw marks. Viewers will get a close look at raccoon paw prints and learn how to tell if they were drinking from the brook or just passing by.
