Japanese Raccoon Dog lll

The Japanese Raccoon Dog, also known as Tanuki (狸 or タヌキ?) in Japanese, is conventionally considered as two subspecies of the raccoon dog, Hondo-tanuki (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), and Ezo-tanuki (Nyctereutes procyonoides albus). Their common Japanese name is oftentimes mistakenly translated into English as "badger" or "raccoon". Despite these mistranslations, the tanuki is not related to raccoons or badgers; the tanuki (or "raccoon-dog") is part of the evolutionary family that includes foxes, wolves, and dogs.
