When: May 22, 2022
Where: Artisklas Haarlem, the Netherlands
We're at the point where we've actually found the distinguishing characteristics between the two wild-color Raccoon Dogs
You can see it here even; one has more brown hairs on his face (the left) while also having a black stripe on his forehead that stops earlier than that of the one on the right.
See? Animals are true individuals too
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.
