Rah'kunlar t'Terra, Tomafalar heh Zhilikam

Below you will find Terran raccoons, their relatives and terminology that you might find associated with them, including species that have died out and some prehistoric ancestors. The red panda is no longer considered to be closely related to the raccoon. By the time of the Federation, only the raccoon originally from North America and one of the South American coatis were still living in the wild. All of its remaining relatives had become extinct, mostly during World War III and the Post Atomic Horror. († indicates raccoons and relatives that were extinct before the 21st Century.)
