Tanuki is a unique species of wild animal living in Japan, known to the English-speaking world as the Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides). Despite its name, the tanuki is neither a raccoon nor a dog, but has features of both.
These cunning forest dwellers are notable for their small size, rounded fur-covered bodies, small ears, and bright eyes. They are known for their orderly family structures, evening walks, and ability to adapt to different environments.
But tanuki are not just natural inhabitants of Japan - they are also an important part of Japanese culture and folklore. They are often portrayed as fun and cunning characters in books, cartoons, and animation, using their magical and deceptive skills to pursue various adventures.
