hehehe this is so well-constructed! made me laugh :)

No, completely different animal…

A type of dog that looks like a raccoon

​@@pankozanaw, more like a typa fox that looks like a typa dog that looks like a raccoon

Japanese raccoon dog tanuki(⓿ᴥ⓿ ᐢ )੭"

@@pankoza tanuki aren't dogs, they're vulpines (i.e. foxes)

It's in the Canid family, it's related to foxes and dogs but it isn't technically either

@@cooperkellis2659 By some definitions it technically _is_ a fox, as it's a vulpine, and is more closely related to the majority of foxes than bat-eared foxes are.

Firstly, you didn't need to make 3 seperate comments. Secondly, that is indeed, not a raccoon. It's a canid that looks like a raccoon. Hence why in english, it's called a "raccoon dog." I personally prefer to just use the japanese term "tanuki" to avoid confusion. Tanukis are also closely related to foxes.

@@vulduv so are they pets or illegal to have ? Only wild ? You kinda came off as a douche with the first sentence not gunna lie 😭😂 I was excited by what I saw … idk why I made separate comments but I did 💀 I’m just a girl and an animal lover ..

@@reyrey7868 Sorry about that, did not intend to be rude. And it probably depends on where you live. They are definitively not common to have as pets though. But they are pretty cute. :3

@@reyrey7868 you didn't need to make 3 separate comments but you did and whether intentional or not it's comedy GOLD 😂hit me right in the funny bone for sure. It reads like you were so perplexed and bewildered by the majestic tanuki that you kept coming back to the video after mulling over the same question like "but..but what IS it!?"

​@@reyrey7868legality aside, they are absolutely not suitable pets for almost anyone, and in europe they are also invasive, so keeping them and risking their escape into the wild is highly ill advised

BNA mentioned let's go

*in kawaii anime voice* E H H H H??

raccoon dogs can mate with neither raccoons or dogs, raccoons are not in the canidae family, and raccoon dogs are very confusing in terms of relationship with dogs, but they are too far removed to mate.

Humans, the most destructive creatures on the planet, have no right to talk about other animals destroying things. We have a choice yet still do horrible things. Nonhumans are just doing what comes instinctively. They don't choose to be destructive. We do.

@@englishatheart Bravo! Good show! You certainly showed that guy who was concerned for the well being of the local ecosystem and wary of the possible ramifications of introducing foreign living things to places they don't belong, the error of his ways! Attacking people on the internet over usage of a word that their species has earned from experience sure beats actually protecting Mother earth and making an effort, doesn't it?

Holy shit, forget getting burned, you just made this person spontaneously combust. Also good point.

@@englishatheart the introduction of exotic animals is one of the ways humans destroy the ecosystem
