ironically raccoons have become a invasive species in japan because of the pet trade because people think they look like little tanukis and now they probably compete against each other for the same food
@@born2biscuit Ooh no! Here in America raccoon are cute right? But we tend to stay faaaaar away from them because they are very vicious and can carry dieses like rabbies. I can't imagine how they have destabilized the ecosystem in Japan especially towards the cute tanuki.
@@TrollBot. Raccoons were brought to Japan as pets, but due to their aggressive nature, they were frequently abandoned and became wild. Since there are no natural enemies of raccoons in Japan, the number of raccoons is rapidly increasing. According to data from the Ministry of the Environment, raccoons have bred throughout Japan and their numbers have tripled between 2006 and 2018. Tanuki live in villages and towns as well as in mountain forests and are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, and insects, while individuals living in towns prefer to eat leftovers and farm products. Tanuki and raccoons rarely fight directly, but they are competitors because their living areas and food habits are quite similar.
In fact, they can often be found in urban areas if there is a small amount of forest. There have also been sightings in places such as Shinjuku. Although they live in forests, they live close to humans. I myself have seen it many times in Itabashi Ward, one of Tokyo's 23 wards, where I live. It is against the law to capture wild animals, so do not do anything if you see them. It is also prohibited to give food
As shown in the video, raccoons are familiar wild animals in Japan. Although they are very vigilant, they often appear in seclusion, so raccoon dogs have been treated as yokai since ancient times. Currently, the number of individuals tends to increase in Japan, causing various problems, so they are sometimes treated as vermin.
Many people think that when they see similarities between animals and between humans and apes, that evolution is the reason, but they never consider that it is because we have the same creator.

Indeed.
交通事故で伴侶が轢かれたら何度も現場に戻ってきてしまい、自分も轢かれてしまう程家族思いである。
基本的に臆病だが妙に大胆で楽天的な面が有り、襲われるかもしれない人間相手にもこちらに何の反応もしないのに離れようとはしないという変った面も持つ。
There such sweet little Japanese floofs!
