Abstract：
The diet of raccoon dogs, which live in close proximity to agricultural fields in Matsuyama, western Japan, was studied throughout the year by the fecal analysis method (n = 114). Fruits were most important, accounting for 30-40% of the diet except in winter. Crops were next in importance, accounting for 10-30%. It was characteristic that the proportion of crops was greater and more stable than in other \"satoyama\" or rural areas in Japan. Crops included rice (Oryza sativa), wheat, sesame (Sesamum indicum), strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa), kiwi fruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa), ginkgo nuts (Ginkgo biloba), and persimmon (Diospyros kaki). Crops were important as the food for the raccoon dogs, but the use was not regarded as causing serious damage. Although wild boars (Sus scrofa), sika deer (Cervus nippon), and Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) were culled for pest control in the area, raccoon dogs were not culled. This may be a reason why the raccoon dog has coexisted with people in Japan.
摘要：
浣熊狗的饮食,住在松山的农田附近，日本西部,通过粪便分析方法(n=114)全年进行了研究。水果是最重要的,除冬季外，占饮食的30-40％。作物的重要性其次，占10-30%。其特征是，与日本其他“satoyama”或农村地区相比，农作物的比例更大，更稳定。作物包括水稻（水稻），小麦,芝麻（芝麻），草莓（Fragaria×ananassa），猕猴桃（猕猴桃。deliciosa),银杏果（银杏），和柿子（Diospyroskaki）。农作物作为浣熊狗的食物很重要，但这种使用不被视为造成严重损害。虽然野猪(Susscrofa)，梅花鹿（Cervusnippon），和日本猕猴（Macacafuscata）在该地区进行病虫害防治，浣熊狗没有被扑杀。这可能是浣熊狗与日本人共存的原因。
