Description

When: September 26, 2021

Where: Artisklas Haarlem, The Netherlands

The somewhat peculiar thing about these Raccoon Dogs is that they are very attuned to people. Many animals don't care much about people - aside from zoo keepers - except around dinner time. They seek more eye contact during that time of day, but these guys? They will sit and stare at you. It's like they're the ones visiting the zoo

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.
