The Raccoon Dog is a small mammal native to East Asia, known for its distinctive raccoon-like appearance and bushy tail. Despite its name, it is not closely related to either raccoons or dogs, but rather belongs to its own unique genus. Raccoon Dogs are omnivorous and opportunistic feeders, eating a wide variety of foods including insects, fruits, and small mammals. They are also known for their ability to climb trees and swim. Raccoon Dogs have been introduced to several European countries as exotic pets, but they have also become invasive species in some areas, posing a threat to native wildlife.

There’s actually a pair of raccoon dogs that like to roam around my house here in japan . When I first moved here I saw them usually at night and thought for sure that they were foxes, until I captured a daytime video of them in my yard and a friend told me they were Tanuki ( Japanese for raccoon dog) .

[insanicasuccuba]

Also known as tanuki's in Japanese folklore, they have an interesting story to them if you check them out 👀

"They can walk on water"

Are we just going to ignore that part..

[tzeccentric]

“…as they look nothing like them.”

Raccoon Dog: *has all the marks of a raccoon*

I was in South Korea in the US Army. When we would go out in the field to train for a few weeks or months we would run communication cables and other kinds of wires through the grass connecting various equipment. We had to raise the wires off the ground with polls or sticks because raccoon dogs would nibble on the cables at night, causing our connections to drop. My Chief started to set up traps to catch them in the act and sure enough, he caught a few. First time we saw raccoon dogs in person. We just let them go outside our area of operation and they stopped coming back. They were awfully cute though. Just wish they would stop biting our cables. They really loved to chew them up.

How have I never known about this animal.. what a beautiful creature 😍

[will]

"They look nothing like them..."
... Uh, they look A LOT like a raccoon.
"They walk on water..."
...what ?

[JAG]

"They look nothing like raccoons"
a few seconds later
"Their fur is very similar to raccoons"

[carolinelaronda]

This is crazy to me that I’ve never heard of these animals in my life

[ambercolie]

They're actually called Tanuki, and I remember seeing a couple on base when I was stationed in Japan. They're often depicted in Japanese folklore as having huge testicles 😅

[commentdestroyer]

“They look nothing like them”

Well then *why would they name them raccoon dogs*

[alik-btcq]

“they look nothing like raccoons”
*has body of Pomeranian and head of a raccoon*

[haudi_there_partner]

basically extremely floofy and friendly racoons but they can howl and bark.

And i love it.
