January 2020 Natural Mystery

This month's Natural Mystery comes from Keller Regional Park, a suburban park a mile north of my home in St. Paul, Minnesota. The question is "Who?" And for a bonus, "What Track Pattern?"

An ideal answer will identify the animal to species, explain the track pattern and the gait that likely produced it, explain how you arrived at your answer, and explain how you eliminated other possibilities. It is, after all, a raccoon until proven otherwise. Sharing your logic and reasoning will help others benefit from your process.
