貉（拼音：hé），又称貉子（háozi）、狸，犬科动物，棕灰色毛，耳朵短小，嘴尖，两颊长有长毛。生活在山林中，昼伏夜出，以鱼虾和鼠兔为食。是一种珍贵的毛皮兽，现在已开始大规模圈养。在中国，商业上习惯把貉分为南貉和北貉，即以长江为界，长江以南为南貉，长江以北为北貉。

野生貉对环境适应性较强，除荒漠地带外，由亚寒带到亚热带地区的平原，丘陵及部分山地，均可生活。多栖息于河各、草原和靠近河流、溪各、湖泊的草原地带和丛林中。常利用树漏、石缝或其它洞穴进行穴居，有时也自行营巢穴居。貉属杂食动物，消化系统的特点功能介于肉食动物和草食动物之间。

Not to be confused with Raccoon or Coonhound

The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides, from the Greek words nukt-, "night" + ereutēs, "wanderer" + prokuōn, "before-dog" [but in New Latin used to mean "raccoon"] + -oidēs, "-oid"), also known as the mangut or tanuki, is a canid indigenous to East Asia. It is the only extant species in the genus Nyctereutes. It is considered a basal canid species, resembling ancestral forms of the family.
