Asiatic Raccoon

The species is common in the introduced range; for example, in south-eastern Finland, the maximum population density was estimated to be about 0.77 adults/km² (Kauhala et al. 2006) and the adult population consists of 110,000-120,000 individuals (hunting bag 160,000-170,000 individuals each year). The autumn population, including the young of the year would be about 320,000.

In northeastern Germany the prebreeding population density is to be 0.95 adults/km², calculated on the basis of a large telemetry study Drygala et al. (2008). In Brandenburg, East Germany, the pre-breeding population density is estimated as 1.1 adults/km² (Sutor and Schwarz 2012). In Białowieża Primeval Forest (Poland) Raccoon Dog density was 0.17-0.5 adults/km² (Kowalczyk et al. 2008). Raccoon Dogs in Białowieża reached densities of 0.7 adults/km² (Jędrzejewska and Jędrzejewski 1998, Kowalczyk et al. 2003). In Suwałki Landscape Park in northeastern Poland, Raccoon Dog density was estimated to be 0.37 adults/km² (Goszczynski 1999). In central and western Europe pre-breeding population density is generally between 0.5 and 1.0 adults/km².
