The species was once recorded by Laiviņa & Laiviņš (1980). During a track survey in the Reserve in March, a specimen was recorded both in 2010 and 2011 (R.Čakstiņš). It might be a permanent inhabitant of both islands of the Reserve.
The racoon dog also is an invasive species, which was introduced in Latvia in 1948 ( Tauriņš 1982). In Moricsala SNR the racoon dog probably appeared already in 1950s when rapid increase of its population started in Latvia ( Ozolins & Pilats 1995).
