Raccoon skull variation

Description

Drawing showing the interspecies variation in adult raccoon skulls. The curator teaching me natural history illustration tells me that all the problems he's ever had with species identification come from raccoon skulls, which have an enormous amount of variation.

Yeah, raccoons vary a good between males and females and across their geographic range. Coyotes seem to as well, though perhaps not as much. Not sure.
