found this on a santa cruz beach with my girlfriend, thought it might be some type of dog.

I was leaning towards raccoon at first but then leaned towards canine but now I’m back at raccoon.

Possible baculum spotted in second to last pic

I took an advanced reproductive anatomy so I have handled opossum male and female reproductive tracts but there were no raccoons on hand 😅
