A few weeks ago, a friend of mine posted a picture of a raccoon dog on Facebook. It was so cute! The minute I saw it I knew I had to look up information about it. Here is what I found.

The raccoon dog really does look very Cute but don’t let that fool you. It doesn’t make a very nice pet because it’s a wild animal. It has a few other names as well: mangut, tanuki or neoguri. We know it as the raccoon dog and it’s easy to see why: These wild dogs have faces very similar to raccoons’ faces.

They mostly live in the forests of East Asia and East Europe. They eat almost anything from plants to smaller animals like birds or fish. Raccoon dogs are nocturnal animals, so they spend the day in the lair and go out at night.
