That sure looks like one of @Antonius gang of raccoons.
But it would be racist to say they all look the same to me.
Might be, mine have been far and few between lately. I am waiting for them to show up with the youngest and newest members.
Can raccoons live inside the roof ( the space beneath a roofâs)?
The direction they walkâŚis my house. I wonder if they have made a hole somewhere on the roof and stay in the attic!?

Absolutely they can, and do that. Many live in chimnies and attics!
Chances are that they are just passing through though. They love to climb fences and go in holes, etc to cut through back yards and other property shortcuts. At my old house, I had several that would cut through my house/property, even ignoring the fences, etc. That is the most likely situation. But I did have a neighbor who had some in her chimney and another who had some in their attic/rafters in the garage.

Many years ago I had a gang of them move into the crawl space under the house. They got in there through a broken foundation vent screen. When I thought they were all gone I replace the screen which only lasted one day because there was still one 
under the house, he ripped the stainless steel screen apart from the inside 
. I finally had to trap the last one and fix the screen again. Now they just cross my yard nightly, go under the fence on the West side then come back and go across the street to their storm drain fort.
Mayhem actor is really good in that role. Would be fun to see the audition screen tests of those he beat out.

The gang here is considerate, they leave all their landmines in one place.
The coyote is making grooves in the dirt, saying âthis is my yard and youâd better not come nearâ
Our chihuahua does this too. Our rat terrier did also. My sonâs Boston Terrer does not do this.
Itâs not its yard 
.
It is now

Yup, thatâs a common dominance action. One of my 2 male dogs does the same thing after he . He also does a little yoga pose too. He sticks his leg straight out behind him and holds the pose for a few seconds. I chuckle every time he does it.

What did it want? Why did it look up at the camera location?
It seems like it was looking for something.
