I was watching the 24hr game-cam from, I believe, Germany. There appeared to be some kind of small, maybe 12-20K animal. I'm just guessing at the weight. It appeared something as our racoon, but I didn't notice a tail. It could have been a badger. It was eating bait corn. Do you have any idea what it might have been? capt david

Probably a racoon, they do exist in parts of Southern Germany

Could be Racoon dog



But since it was eating corn it was probably a badger

This animal is a Marderhund (nycetereutes procyonoides) also called Enok.
You can often find it in Eastern Germany (Brandenburg, Mecklenburg - Vorpommern) where hunters shoot more enoks than foxes.

But the enok moves more and more to the west and in some years will have it in whole Germany.

I think nycetereutes procyonoides is the Latin name for Racoon Dog...

Never realised that they had these or Racoons in Germany though..Both must have been introduced at some point?
