The distribution in Japan is based on the map in the article “Present Status of Invasive Alien Raccoon and its Impact in Japan” by Tohru Ikeda et al. The distribution in the Caucasus region is based on the map on page 12 in the book “Der Waschbär” (“The Raccoon”) by Ulf Hohmann.

This biogeographical map image could be re-created using vector graphics as a SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If a SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}. It is recommended to name the SVG file “Raccoon-range.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
