@choko.mori: They’re all 5 inches thicker than they were 2 months ago. They’re bracing for that oh so frigid 10 degree Celsius Tokyo winter, at least that’s their excuse probably 👀 #japan #naturejapan #livinginjapan #tanuki #racoondog

littlelostsnake🇨🇦 :

fun or not so fun fact, most coats that use "raccoon" fur, it ain't American raccoons, its tanuki or their more common brothers the common asian raccoon dog, though many are hunted in europe, because they are a invasive species in a lot of Europe

osal :

たぬきこんなにいるの！？

ぽんせ :

タヌキは、狂犬病やレプトスピラ症、その他様々な病原菌の媒介となりうる野生動物です。 また、ダニや蚊を介して病気を広げる可能性もあります。 タヌキに不用意に触れたり、フンに近づいたりすることは避け、感染症予防のため、むやみに近づかないことが大切です。 タヌキはかわいいですが、適切な距離を保ちましょう。
