Raccoon poop typically appears as fairly large, tubular droppings about 2 to 3 inches long and around half an inch to 3/4 inch in diameter. The ends are usually blunt, rounded, or sometimes broken off. The texture of the sides can be somewhat textured rather than smooth. The color is generally dark but can vary depending on the raccoon's recent diet. A key identifying feature is the presence of undigested food such as berries, nuts, or seeds inside the feces, which is common in raccoon droppings. Sometimes the poop may look like a blob without a definite shape, but the presence of seeds or berries is a strong indicator it is raccoon feces

. Raccoons often defecate in communal latrine sites, which can be found in places like the base or forks of trees, woodpiles, decks, patios, or even attics and crawlspaces in homes if raccoons have infested the area

. It is important to note that raccoon feces can carry dangerous parasites, such as raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), which pose serious health risks to humans and pets. Therefore, raccoon droppings should never be touched directly, and professional help should be sought for removal and cleanup
