Unpopular opinion: the raccoon that uses my bike lane every night at 2am has better lane discipline than most drivers

I ride home from my shift in Portland around 2am and for the past 3 weeks a fat raccoon has been waddling down the green lane on SE Lincoln like it owns the place, hugging the left edge, never weaving, never darting out, and honestly it holds its line better than the guy in the white van who almost clipped me at the same spot on Wednesday, so does anyone else share their lane with a regular animal commuter or is it just me and this raccoon?
