I spent my childhood in the countryside of Finland. We had a huge wild garden. I loved animals, saw lots of them around. I liked raccoon dogs, but I never saw even one, even though I really wanted to. Then, when I was 20, my parents had to move out of the house into a city. It was emotional, saying the final goodbye to my old childhood home and all the places around it, filled with memories. I spent the last night there, and woke up into the last morning in the old house. A beautiful bright midsummer morning. I went into the living room and looked out of the window into the back yard.... and there was a raccoon dog there. Just casually going about its business. I had never known there were raccoon dogs in the area. It felt like a gift, a parting gift.

Despite being the subject of legend, they're hardly understood or thoroughly studied or even cared for in Japan. What we actually know of their social habits is the fact they're monogamous lovers that mate for life (often birthing 3-4 generations in their lifetime); and how multiple families share a singular feces pile that allows them to exchange information on food quality/quantity and available sources/types in their habitat. After the introduction of Procyon lotor (true Raccoons) to Japan in the 80's, the overlapping niche has caused the raccoon dog's habitats to be contested; and with a more aggressive opponent the raccoon dogs are very slowly being pushed into endangerment.

@komp31to-confett1 2 года назад

To be honest, I wonder why Tanuki are not extinct. Tanuki have a characteristic of stiffening up when startled, and are often hit by cars. They also care for their partners so much that they will not try to have children if their partner dies. If their partner gets hit by a car and dies, they will go there frequently and eventually get hit by a car and die just like their partner. They do not have weapons such as sharp claws, fangs, or great strength. They are quiet and timid in nature. They do not try to attack people. Perhaps the reason why they are not extinct is because they are not tasty and have charming looking.

@PhantoRoyce 2 года назад

In Japanese Folklore tanuki had such massive balls they would sling them over their backs to carry them. Gaara from Naruto,being the jinchuriki of a tanuki, shares many physical traits with them such as the dark marks around his eyes and his gourd (which is shaped like like a ball sack). Gaara basically has giant balls that he carries on his back

@@TNTz1ooChannel You've got it backwards, Tanooki Mario is the fully body one that turns to stone. I'm guessing Raccoon Mario is called that because raccoon's don't have the same magical connotations that tanuki do. Thus, the less magical form gets a less magical name.

Racoon dogs didn't escape from the fur farms, they were released after the farmers found racoon dogs in captivity don't produce the same impressive kind of fur as the wild ones. They planned on hunting them, instead the animals spread everywhere. One of the reasons they are so disliked now is many animals carry a parasite that can be harmful for people.

I can't believe you mentioned the Tanuki suit but not Tom Nook, arguably better known than the Tanuki suit. (Even though Mario is obviously much better known than Animal Crossing, the Tanuki suit is one of the lesser known items in comparison to things like the Fireflower or Super Mushroom, while Tom Nook is arguably the most major character in the Animal Crossing series apart from the player character). Tom Nook is a Tanuki from the Animal Crossing series. The English version calls him a raccoon, but he's actually a Tanuki, in fact, the name Tom Nook is a pun on Tanuki. He is one of the main characters of the series as the character you buy a home from, and a major part of the Animal Crossing games is paying off your debt to him. However, he doesn't charge interest and lets you pay at your own pace. He has two young apprentices named Timmy and Tommy that are also Tanuki and they are just the cutest little bbys

@Srbo lazic just western Bruh as if the Han didn't do that to the Nanman or the like Nihonjin almost did it to the Ainu Just for 2 random exsamples bruh get this eurocentric view of only western people did it out of here. Sure we did it to 2 entire continent's but we are not unique by anything else other than the scale of it.

Also Germany brought racoons over , who are invasive there... Its the only place the Racoons and Tanuki meet.

I found this channel a few days ago, and I'm jealous of Danielle's life. She draws for a living, travel the world, and play with animals. AND she's in Canada, so she has health care! Also, I can't believe fluffy raccoon dogs have existed all these years and no one's tried to domesticate them.

@robertrobert7924 2 года назад

Danielle, could you do a video about invasive species from the Americas into Eurasia? Of course, the 1st species should be raccoons . We see so many videos coming out of Florida about invasive species in the Everglades. I am sure there must be raccoons that have been transported to Eurasia either for fur farming or pets. Thank you. Your videos always cheer up my day.

@saradapagediocletian9707 2 года назад

@@Candesce I've dealt successfully with racoons. My academic background is in Animal Behavior so there are very few mammals that I would straight refuse to work with. Honey Badgers, Wolverines, and Racoon Dogs would be the main ones. Because not only are they dangerous but they are deliberately contemptuous.

@saradapagediocletian9707 2 года назад

@Hellequin Maskharat they're great pets if you'd like to repaint your home in entrail red! I don't condone domesticating wildlife but given the alternative you would be better off with an actual racoon. I know rehabers who have done quite well with them. I'm honestly really surprised Danielle didn't mention their aggressive nature. A former classmate told me a horror story of their experience and that's all it took for me.

@Dimetropteryx 2 года назад

As a side note, a former flat mate of mine mentioned that when his dog (a very friendly Afghan hound) encounters a raccoon dog in the woods, the raccoon dog is usually dead before he can intervene. They're not able to put up much of a fight.

Jerbari, Gaara’s One Tailed Beast is based off of the tanuki, and Tony Tony Chopper is joked about most people labeling him a tanuki because tanukis are raccoon dogs, and tanukai is the Japanese word for deer which is super close to word for raccoon dog.
