This critter is famous because of its anus


Only the most avid zoo-goers will recognize this amalgam of a raccoon face, small dog body, and hyena spots. The glands around its anus produce a chemical substance widely used in the perfume industry.

Its cousin has an equally famous fundament, through which partially-digested coffee beans pass before they are harvested and used to produce absurdly expensive coffee.

Identity at the links.
