Photo by @Joel Sartore | Meet the tanuki, also known as a raccoon dog. This species is usually brown and black, however, this tanuki who lives at @okczoo is leucistic, meaning it lacks color. In the mid-20th century, the fur-farming industry introduced a few thousand raccoon dogs to European parts of the Soviet Union and they have since thrived in northern and eastern Europe. Although their population is stable, they are still hunted for their fur in some areas. In Japan, numerous myths and legends surround the tanuki; folklore holds that the species are tricksters and shapeshifters, but not malicious. #photoark #tanuki
