I have a doubt that I think doesn't fit in any of the existing topics, so I decided to make one to ask it. This can also help other english speaking members to ask theirs in the future.
By the way:I was reading the chapter Freshwater sea of Asia and saw this phrase in the description of the Baikal hard-beaked dolphin: "Only a few species of dolphin survived from the entire Order." Does it means that beyond the Baikal one, another dolphin could have survived in freshwater? I'm really curious with this possibility. By the way, it's an excellent chapter. Made me remember of a documentary about the wildlife of Russia that I watched in 2018.

But where?
The "Neocene: the portrait of the Earth" mentions a descendant of the finless porpoise living in China. Does it already have a description? Also, would be possible for at least another relic cetacean live in the Amazon river? Maybe a descendant of the Genus Sotalia, these animals can enter in rivers. This could be the only other species of cetacean in the world.

Does the family of descendants of the raccoon-dog that is mentioned in the Asian part of the "Neocene: the portrait of the Earth" need some descriptions of other species? Sorry for so much questions these days, I'm going to enter in vacation and decided to use my free time to help here.

May be. Depends on the exact location. Some may already have such predators, but some may not.
I was thinking about Japan, the chapter about the island is still in Russian, so I don’t know if it already exist, or any other large carnivore. Other descriptions that I could are for the smaller and arboreal descendants of the common raccoon that live in Europe and are also mentioned in the "Neocene: the portrait of the Earth".

But Bestiary may contain some Japanese species as well.
I searched in the Bestiary and only found the description of squirrels of Honshu Island. Maybe there is more in the Russian part, because in the picture of one of these rodents, there is some type of feline in the background.

Would make sense if there is at least another hypercarnivore in Japan? For example, a descendant of a marten or of the domestic dog. Or perhaps a panda-like descendants of the raccoon-dog that is more herbivore than carnivore. While I was reading about Japan, I thought about a genus of a nectar eating rodent that I also eats soft fruits.

Hardly so. Wovoka wrote that there are one weasel and one canine predator in the area in question, so the niches are occupied (and they are not so numerous due to the area limitation - it is an island, remember?).

Sounds interesting, but raccoon dog is quite rare today and unlikely to give two descendants simultaneously.

A glider-like animal in Japan? Interesting!
Yes, but rather than being capable of glide, it would be an acrobatic species, moving fast through the canopy with a semi-prehensile tail. Due to winter in Japan, I think that it could also hibernate.
