Florida Critters

Here's an assortment of different critters I photographed in south Florida during a week in March.
It ranges from gators, crocs, lizards, turtles, snakes, and animals. Many of these, like the crocks were the first ones I've seen, so it was very exciting to see all these creatures.

I live in Margate, Florida. I'm new to the South and do not recognize all the animals I see. I'm trying to identify a critter I saw running around at night. It's face looked like a raccoon but it had a bald tail like a rat. Any idea what it was?
