Believe this is either a Long-tailed or Short-tailed weasel. Both look similar here and can only be distinguished by size. Carry young in its mouth

Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor)Observer
tsnDescription
These round prints are about 2 inches across, with 5 separate toes and toenail marks visible. The animal was apparently not in a hurry. I followed the trail for a long way through the woods. It often, but not always, followed a well-worn deer trail. Fisher? Skunk? Something else?
