They belong to the canine species Nyctereutes procyonoides. But when HSUS purchased several of these jackets, the jackets arrived bearing the labels "Made in China" and "genuine raccoon fur." According to the press release, Macy's website went so far as to "identify" the materials used as "Nylon/faux fur/goose down."
