Does anyone know how to edit the Species box?
I understand troll protection, but it seems odd that there are two extinct species named in the chart that aren't in the box. (My old account made that edit, so I'll likely get a slap, but I don't see an edit button for it so I can take care of the indiscrepancy.) SupersuMC (talk) 21:38, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Which is it: Ancestors of all procyonids, or descendants of raccoons?
This might be a grammatical problem as it's not clear whether "they" refers to Bassariscus or Procyon, but I have encountered raccoon fans on forums who have claimed that raccoons are the longer-surviving species. It doesn't sit quite right with me, so we need to do a deep dive and find out whether or not the first procyonid fossils actually are related to Bassariscus.

Did it myself. What a buzzkill I had. SupersuMC (talk) 21:57, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

We should put a taxonomic chronology up, though. SupersuMC (talk) 21:57, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
