  1. raccoon dogs

    The common raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), also called the Chinese or Asian raccoon dog, or the namold is a small, heavy-set, fox-like canid native to East Asia. Named for its raccoon-like face markings, it is most closely related to foxes. Common raccoon dogs feed on many animals and plant matter, and are unusual among canids (dogs, foxes, and other members of the family Canidae) for climbing trees and for hibernating in cold winters. They are widespread in their native range, and are invasive in Europe where they were introduced for the fur trade. The similar Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes viverrinus), native to Japan, is the only other living member of the genus Nyctereutes. Other names for the common raccoon dog include mangut (its Evenki name), neoguri (its Korean name) or simply raccoon dog. The raccoon dog is named for the resemblance of its masked face to that of the North American common raccoon (Procyon lotor). The closest relatives of the raccoon dogs are the true foxes, not the raccoon, one of the musteloids, which are not closely related. Among the Canidae, the raccoon dog shares the habit of regularly climbing trees only with the North American gray fox, which is not a true fox and to which the raccoon dogs are not closely related.Due to the fur trade, the common raccoon dog has been widely introduced in Europe, where it has been treated as a potentially hazardous invasive species. In Scandinavia, it is called "marten-dog" (Swedish: mårdhund, Norwegian and Danish: mårhund). In Europe, the raccoon dog is included since 2019 in the list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern (the Union list). This implies that this species cannot be imported, bred, transported, commercialized, or intentionally released into the environment in the whole of the European Union.

Examples of raccoon dogs in a Sentence

  1. Van Kerkhove:

    What they found is molecular evidence that animals were sold at that market. That was suspected, but they found molecular evidence of that. And also that some of the animals that were there were susceptible to SARS-CoV2 infection, and some of those animals include raccoon dogs, this does n’t change our approach to studying the origins of Covid-19. It just tells us that more data exists, and that data needs to be shared in full.
