Procyon Procyonidae is a family of Carnivora which includes the raccoons, coatis and others. There is considerable uncertainty over the correct classification of several members. The Red Panda was previously classified in this family, but some experts, including Wilson and Reeder, classify it as a member of the bear family (Ursidae) or in its own family the Ailuridae. The status of the various olingos is disputed: they may all be better regarded as subspecies of Bassaricyon gabbi. - FAMILY PROCYONIDAE
