Description
Photo taken in June, 2009 @ Zoo Dierenrijk, The Netherlands
EDITED
I cropped this photo a little bit, and adjusted the colors.
I have to be completely up front, because this photo is an absolute Raccoon Dog favorite of mine
He looks a tad cross-eyed, but truly adorable. I can't remember how exactly we'd caught his attention to catch him gazing up at us this way, but it's awesome!
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.

Dank je! Wat leuk dat je hem herkend, het is niet echt een bekend dier in Nederland en ook daar buiten niet.
Heb je er een in dezelfde dierentuin als ik gezien of in een andere?

It's cute indeed, but I don't think it would be a great pet. Though it seems often verry cuddly with the long fluffy hair, sweet pig-like nose and big brown eyes :3
