Cousin of a raccoon (5)
I believe the answer is:
coati
'cousin of a raccoon' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for coati that I've seen before include "Racoon-like omnivorous creature of Central and South America" , "Flesh-eating mammal" , "South American animal" , "omnivorous mammal" , "wild animal" .)
