Photo taken in October, 2013 @ Dierenrijk, The Netherlands
Since the cooler weather, the Raccoon Dogs have gained their Winter fur coat and have mellowed. They no longer run around rumbunctiously, they'll waddle to their little pond for a sip, and huddle back together.
This was a rare moment when one took the time to stay around and yawn.

Species: Raccoon Dog (Wasbeerhond)
Latin name: Nyctereutes Procyonoides
Originates from Europe and Asia.
Current status: Least Concern
Did you know:
…There’s also a Japanese Raccoon Dog, often referred to as Tanuki.
…Despite its name, the Raccoon Dog is neither a Raccoon, nor a Dog, but a species of its own.
