| | Raccoon Dog |
 | | It is named for its resemblance to the raccoon, to whom it is only distantly related (no more than any other dog). |
 | | The animal carries historical and cultural significance in Japan, and is also known under the Japanese name tanuki (Katakana: タヌキ; Kanji: 狸 or in Kyujitai: 貍). |
 | | Raccoon Dogs are native to Japan, southeastern Siberia, and Manchuria but now range as far as Scandinavia and France; in 2005, sightings were reported in Italy as well. |
