Mystery in Mesa

Something with very nimble fingers has carefully deconstructed an orange under our navel tree last night.


All the pieces seem to be there. The peeling was torn off and all the segments were pulled apart without damaging them. Nothing seems to be missing.

Could a raccoon have done this? I spotted one in a Leisure World drainage ditch a few months ago while riding my bike. Raccoons probably have the dexterity and the curiosity to pull this off. 


Or possibly it was a coati. We've spotted these in Leisure world too but I don't know if they have opposing thumbs like a raccoon.

(both animal photos were downloaded from a google search)
