Raccoon-like mammal (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
red panda
'raccoon-like mammal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for red panda that I've seen before include "Asian animal" , "something like a raccoon" , "Wild animal" , "Raccoon-like mammal" , "furry creature" .)
