I call it...Masked Bandits...for obvious reasons.
As you might know, these very clever thieves are actually in the dog family, even though they have a very cat-like appearance. They are one of the biggest nuisance animals to home bird feeding stations, as well, as they are much more intelligent, nimble, and (frankly) larger than any squirrel baffle. In winter, you can find wandering trails of large cat-looking prints starting from the top of your house, down the downspout, and across the yard. They love old trees...and garbage.
The Japanese racoon is featured in the Studio Ghibli film, Pom Poko, as tricksters of the forest.
And also Groot's best friend.
I am Groot.
