looks up raccoon skeleton geometry and algorithms to solve square packing problem

Because I'm pretty sure it's more than two.

Ok, yes, but... it's likely not three. And fractional racoons aren't recommended for...well anything really.

Do not ask if you should, ask only if you could!

And consider: if the widest part of a raccoon compresses to 4" on one axis, its entirely plausible you could pack two in side by side on the narrower axis, perhaps angled in a V shape, with another across above them, against the roof of the sphincter

I wouldn't bet on a 4th, but also would not rule it out without firmer numbers than I have.
