Each night in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, California (USA) small armies of raccoons raid the garbage cans after that days human visitors have dispersed. After spotting active raccoons in the area, I placed a camera trap with a remote trigger on this set of garbage cans wondering if the raccoons would stop be for a look. I captured this raccoon suspending between the two cans as it descended. This image is part of an investigation of urban wildlife intelligence, and how urban bears might be changing compared to their rural cousins. No bait was used.
