It is also interesting that Russian wiki says that raccoons first appeared in Eurasia and then moved to Americas through land bridge, and then became extinct in Old World because viverrids took their place in ecosystem. But nowadays raccoons are pretty tough and endurant animals, and it is hard to imagine that they could lose to someone.
English wiki doesn't says this though.
