Zoodoku Level 196 is an unseeded 9x9 raccoon board; follow r5c6, r8c7, r6c1, r7c3, r3c4, r9c5, r4c9, r2c2, and r1c8 while avoiding red r7c7.

If the player asks you to sign in, open the video on YouTube instead.

Place the first raccoon at r5c6 in the teal singleton; this starts the visible white X propagation.
Do not use red-probed r7c7; place the second raccoon at r8c7 in the green territory.
Place the third raccoon at r6c1 in the mauve territory.
Place the fourth raccoon at r7c3 in the pink territory.
Place the fifth raccoon at r3c4 in the light-green territory.
Place the sixth raccoon at r9c5 in the yellow territory.
Place the seventh raccoon at r4c9 in the blue-gray territory.
Place the eighth raccoon at r2c2 in the brown territory.
Finish with the ninth raccoon at r1c8 in the purple territory, then confirm Unbelievable.

Colors in this level:

Purple, Brown, Light-green, Blue-gray, Mauve, Teal, Pink, Green, Yellow

Do not tap r7c7: the source shows a red failed green probe, while r8c7 is the successful green placement.
Do not reinterpret the propagated white X at r4c9 or r1c8 as a failure; the source accepts those exact late coordinates.

Start with teal r5c6, then use green r8c7 after avoiding red r7c7; the first accepted raccoon starts the white X cascade.
Reserve the upper-right close r4c9, r2c2, and r1c8 for the final blue-gray, brown, and purple placements.

Board notes 5 details

Layout: The 9x9 opening has purple across the top, brown at the upper-left, light-green and blue-gray through the center, mauve and pink on the left/lower side, teal at r5c6, green at r6c6-r8c7, and yellow across the lower rows.
Goal: Place nine raccoons in the verified source order r5c6, r8c7, r6c1, r7c3, r3c4, r9c5, r4c9, r2c2, and r1c8, using each territory once.
Opening: The first decoded frame has no seeded raccoon and no opening X. Accepted r5c6 starts the white X propagation; the source then records red r7c7 before the successful r8c7 and the lower-left continuation.
Danger Zone: Red r7c7 is the failed green probe and costs one heart; the accepted green target is r8c7. Keep the red mark separate from the white logical X field.
Mechanics: This is an unseeded nine-raccoon 9x9 board with one red probe; the final capture shows Unbelievable, nine raccoons, and two hearts remaining.
