Nyctereutes procyonoides is native to eastern Siberia, northern China, North Vietnam, Korea, and Japan.
Nyctereutes procyonoides has the appearance of a small fox-like canid with the fur markings similar to those of a raccoon (Procyon lotor).
Nyctereutes procyonoides relies on its sense of smell while hunting and foraging because it has relatively poor vision for a member of the family Canidae.

 History
It was a small step for a raccoon dog, but a giant leap for raccondogkind - within half a century, that's the last centimeter on a time-scale of a kilometer, they conquered the whole of Mid-Europe.
If the original ones were of different subspecies, the European population may well have evolved into Nyctereutes procyonoides europealis by now.
In Germany several thousands are shot in the wild on a yearly basis, and the numbers are rising, but the population doesn't suffer too much under persecution.

 Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Two distinctive features are recognized, that can be traced back in the fossil record: the sulcal pattern medial to the coronal sulci, and the shape and relative size of the proreal gyrus.
Three types are described for the second feature: (1) elongated and bilaterally compressed: Canis, Cuon, Lycaon, Atelocynus, Speothos, Cerdocyon,†Dusicyon, Chrysocyon, Pseudalopex, †Nyctereutes sinensis, †N.
On the basis of these features some phylogenetic interpretations are presented: the fossil Asian Nyctereutes is close to Cerdocyon, Speothos is close to Atelocynus, Chrysocyon is not related to Canis, Urocyon differs from Vulpes and Pseudalopex culpaeus differs from the rest of the Pseudalopex species.
