During a camping trip, four friends - Alex, Brian, Cathy, and Diane - decide to go fishing. They leave their tents and belongings at the campsite and head to the nearby lake. While they're gone, a group of raccoons rummages through their food supplies and scatters items around the campsite. When the friends return from fishing, what do they think happened at the campsite? Provide a very brief response.
The friends will probably think that their campsite has been disturbed by an animal or animals, given the scattered food and items rather than something like a human burglar, who would be more likely to take valuables and leave less of a mess. Raccoons are known for being clever creatures that can get into food supplies, and their presence at campsites is not uncommon. So, the mess they find suggests the behavior of animals searching for food rather than anything else. Additionally, the friends might look for other clues such as paw prints or overturned containers that raccoons, rather than people, would leave behind.
