Reconstructed raccoon movement path. Three cameras photographed a raccoon as it moved east over the grid at 2:59 AM on June 26, 2013. These photos are displayed chronologically to the left of the map. Within a minute, three more cameras took empty photographs in the direction that the animal was last seen moving. The timing and location of these photographs suggest that the raccoon triggered the cameras but moved out of frame before a photograph could be taken. Inferred movement paths suggest that at least two other cameras were also visited, but not triggered. The exact location of these missed detections was inferred from the direction of travel of the animal in other pictures using a conservative rule to minimize missed detections to complete the route
