Mesopredator
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Raccoons and skunks are mesopredators. Pictured is a common raccoon and a striped skunk eating cat food in an urban area.
A mesopredator is a medium-sized predator in the middle of a trophic level,[1] which typically preys on smaller animals. When populations of apex predators decrease, populations of mesopredators often increase.
