Tanuki (Raccoon dog)

[askaboutourflavoured]

they make fantastic fur garments:)

[Mygodcanbeatupyergod]

so can you skin it and then fly around in its skin?

[BFHKevin]

No matter how much you feed them they won't be your pets. Unless you capture it like a POKEMON!!11

[Crocodile03100]

Tony Tony Chopper is in the place !

[kwchung1129]

IT'S CHOPPER!!!!

[elangel500]

Was that thing supposed to be wild? o.o

[sendittobryce]

Awesome vid! So what is the coon cross-bred with? ;-)

[RockSprites]

This could turn into a weird Pom Poko scenario.

=___= Yeeeaa....

[junior50000]

I would like 2 have one of this tanuki dog were can u find em

[ff2paladin]

Can he turn into stone?

[EricsLittleClaudia]

is this a dog or raccoon`?

[ParaDiceYall]

@EricsLittleClaudia Raccoon... I hope your question wasn't serious because it's more then obvious lol

[bhizzle1500]

Dr. Chopper

[kmeccat]

So CUTE!!!

How can they turn them into Faux Fur collars?

[PrettyKore]

@kmeccat Honey, faux fur is FAKE fur.. Lolz.. =]

[kmeccat]

@PrettyKore

LOL...yes. Faux means fake, false.

Therefore, faux fur SHOULD be fake, right? However...if you Google "raccoon dog faux fur", you will find that very often what we think is "faux fur" is actually raccoon dog fur. 

And the way they get that fur off those dogs is horrifying. =[

[MUERTOLOCO]

@kmeccat I just watched that video here on youtube...and i gotta say it is a terrible way to die

[kmeccat]

@MUERTOLOCO

agreed. nothing should have to die that way. These little guys are obviously just little dogs that resemble raccoons...and appear to be gentle and easily tamed. Hopefully if the public becomes aware of this horror, them outrage will put an end to the slaughter.

[MUERTOLOCO]

@kmeccat Asians are fucked up in a way that they will over look it.. just like they had them keychains with goldfish and turtles inside of plastic bags

[PrettyKore]

@kmeccat Oh alright.. I never knew that.. I do know it is terrible how they get it off.. I'm HUGE into animal rights.. But I was unaware of that part... Learn something new everyday.. Lolz!

[graciedarling209]

This guy definitely reminds me of Pom Poko! I think its so weird that a Raccoon dog looks like a raccoon and a dog, also kind of like the asian fox i believe but not really related to any of them!

[rorisarael]

fucker's huge

[heavensmurder]

Aww its cute <3 but obviously people cant tell the difference of a real raccoon and this XD it has paws now padded hands people compare it and obviously has the body of a dog but texture of a dog.Soo racoon dog and now I want one but it wild :((

[MrMariobrosrocks]

Yes, but does it turn into stone when you press down and B?

[KrisMTL]

Wow, congratulations. Now when it harasses other humans for food and bites or attacks them, it will get killed. Thanks for food conditioning wild animals by feeing you prick, with your hipster jazz playing in the background. You piece of shit.

[SimpleBeautyGuru]

Wierd part of youtube again...

[mobyasuka]

Sounds like jimmy smith in the background...

[durabrigt]

I want.

[EPICWINize]

lol

[dawino6260]

LOL... I like him......

[iHrTbRoOk]

Is that a raccoon? A dog? A mutant? The fuck? :o

[dirosaga]

How dare you mingle with the enemy.

[LarryKingPoe]

I liked your video and subscribed, if you get a chance check out my raccoon in Raccoon on a leash or " Mississippi Coon walking"...he actually herds some horses...thanx

[PLURisLIFEbitch]

Thumbs up if you have this costume on super mario c:

[SasukeUchiha758]

where is Mario though?



[Aqua746]

Pom Poko! :)

[darkcloud2403]

TANUKI!!!!!! :0 :D :3

[HawesomePossum]

When does it turn to stone to protect it's self from koopas?

[eCut93]

@HawesomePossum There's no koopas there, duuuuuh.

[carllito12]

So cute. It's ashame these animals are still being beaten to death and skinned alive for their fur.

[Kenazzle]

Tanuki! The dog with the head of a raccoon...

...and the body of a raccoon.

[bancoran]

@Kenazzle And the balls of an elephant.

[usmcburke]

prequel to quarantine?

[420maddmax]

Man,bear,pig eats these as snacks lol

[Kidnappingfreezers]

It looks like a raccoon, fox and a dog. I've never seen a raccoon with a coat like that, foxes are slender with long tails but the faces are similar and dogs look like a lot of different animals. I'm thoroughly confused.

[hipmike866]

@Kidnappingfreezers But why the confusion? It is none of those it is it's own species. It a Tanuki!!

[BlueMewz]

Looks like a fat raccoon with no tail :P

[bluetoad127]

dog: Hahaha! i'm a dog. Female dog!

Raccon: Unfortiatly, Im not a girl Nor dog, so i cant be a FEMALE DOG.

Dog: AWW Cmon! :(

[earlywirlybird]

Haha I like the cheesy Hammond music...If that is in fact a Hammond

[shiinayuya147]

Aww ;-; such beautiful~ lil animals. VERY healthy lookin >w<!! And two of them~ Hehe :3 Tanukis need more love.

[87doofer]

Yes, because every healthy-looking raccoon dog has rabies, right? Doesn't matter if it's walking normally, eating properly, or it's mouth isn't foaming.

[devastator44]

Enjoy your rabies.

[FanofRvB]

Ah so he must be coming to visit Mario and Luigi.

[Rzrbrn]

D'awwwww

[WereCreature]

I want one. hes soo cute

[ClopinGirl64]

"Mr Raccoon, Mr Raccoon, Can't you play with me somehow?" "No, I can't. I'm eating dinner now."

[GarlandFraser]

Wife Tanuki at the end: Did you get the food?

husband Tankui: Uhhh, yeah, it's right here! 'Psst, give me another stick thing!'

[tayloredup72]

its a raccoon DOG. theyre closely related to fox's & and nothing near related to an actual raccoon, you morons.

[bluebluecatcat1]

@tayloredup72 oh shut up you lame nerd and stop callin people morons,im sorry if we think its related to a raccoon.we only think that because it looks JUST like a raccon!

[minespatch]

They reminds me of my cat, Spooky, who's a Maine Coon. People tend to mistake him for a raccoon. When you fed him by hand, it reminds me when I feed him ham and cheese by hand like a puppy.

You're pets are very adorable.

[XCutePupa]

Cool

[FoxyPaige96]

aww its so cute not as cute as a fox but cute now I want one as a pet!

[soukupb]

@FoxyPaige96 There good as a pet until you have it on your shoulder one day it it rips your face in half.

[iamDarkOutcast]

That peopstup person is fucking retarded -.-

[TheUndeadharlequin]

Anyone make a Mario reference yet?

[pyroclactic]

@mwillblade You're*

[dancergal633]

FACT: a tanuki's um.. balls r suppose to be good luck in Japan. the bigger they are the better the luck. just an interesting fact for you guys :D now excuse me while i go and lmao. also.. its not a raccoon dog O.o

[arcticcatsledder1]

bring that damn coon up here ill tree that fucker with my dogs

[McElroyal]

you shouldve shot one in the face

[Tic0nX]

It has a cute butt. I want to poke it.

[Peopstup]

I like racoons. Why not. Look at people-fat,ugly full of diseases. Without vaccines no surviving.

[mwillblade]

@Peopstup Your probably the fattest and ugliest person , the only person that probably likes you is your mom .

[Peopstup]

@mwillblade Hello FATTY-kill yourself with gun. Thank you for doing it.

[mwillblade]

@Peopstup Nice come back ,you basically repeated what I said to you .Please do not comment anymore . Your a idiot .

[MrJosh91189]

@mwillblade agree peopstup is a racoon fucker and a idiot:)

[HonoringTheFiction]

Shit guys, raccoons are bad ass.....

[MrJosh91189]

NASTY DISGUSTING ANIMALS, KILL THEM FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!!!

[Peopstup]

@MrJosh91189  You are nasty disgusting BEAST. Can somebody kill him. PLEASE.

[origamigek]

Transform for us!

[reborn2424]

@ThatTrainerGuy um their not mutant animal crossbreeds

[drewfus2009]

[ThatTrainerGuy]

Those japanese and their mutant animal crossbreeds

[Darion234567890]

get ready for an on coming visitor

[hypernova20]

SNARF SNARF !!!!!!!!!!!!

[kirbydude9]

Hey it's Tom Nook, greed bugger.

[iAlexiisx3]

I hate raccoons, they are too creepy to be domestic pets. :[

[AndyWo91]

@iAlexiisx3 these aren't raccoons thou. they just have similar fur style

[AllAlaskan907]

@AndyWo91 Are they related to raccoons?

[STangoFox]

@AllAlaskan907 If I may, they are actually canids, though they are distantly related to raccoons. They are definitely more akin to foxes. =)

[inbetweentics]

so i'm guessing that these don't have the dexterity that raccoons have..?

[ClutchNervous]

i think raccoon dogs are mainly in japan.

[Tmendler]

is there a difference from a raccoon and a raccoon dog? cause that looks very different from the racoons i have in my backyard

[jessicavm]

@Tmendler yes look at the tail. Raccoon Dogs have short tail with no rings.

[djmaster100]

Super Mario Bros 3 Mario Tanooki!

[sabunacon]

looks just like a mother-fking raccoon.

[TheFlacker99]

sounds like gran turismo 5 in the background

[agricola]

and those are DOGS(albeit, weird looking small dogs) not raccoons

[agricola]

this is japan right? because its illegal to import or posess this species in the US

[katejarvis1]

the REAL tunooki mario :D

[TheAfterbirthers]

and now you have rabies

[KingZoritaGorington1]

Are the Tanukis genetically engineered with a raccoon and a dog or something? :/

[metalsonicmk72]

@KingZoritaGorington1 They're closely related to true canines last time I checked. Supposedly they've been split from them for about 10 Million Years or something. Not really closely related to raccoons though. Hope that answers your question.

[ilovemuslimfood666]

I hear the males have huge balls.

[ImFlareonBitch]

@ilovemuslimfood666 You'd like that, wouldn't you?

[FireBomberBassist]

Lol here comes his buddy.

[Woodbine208]

is the tanuki actually bred with a dog and a raccoon

[castledragonsword]

@Woodbine208 lol nah its just what its called its a species of its own but is more canine than raccoons are

[MangoTangoFOx]

I felt like I had Gran Turismo 5 on in the background. >.<

[Apocolovids]

In an unrelated note. I think the wood in your house looks gorgeous!

[TalentBunny]

Wild animals don't make good pets.

[swesleyc7]

I LOVE raccoons, trust me, but you can't feed wild ones. It's better they maintain a fear or at least know to put distance from people. In the sense of rabies transmission to people and harm from humans.

[bel8910]

Hey! Your dog looks like a racoon!

[krs7g4]

Those coons are going to break into your house at night and steal your marshmallows now. Happened to me.

[Illchangeitlater]

@krs7g4 No way! Not the marshmallows!! :O The horror!

[Phakoo]

so is it a dog or a raccoon

[fslayer1290]

How often does it turn into a statue? :)

[AnimefreakBL9636]

ZOMG !! CUTE TANUKI!!! is he/she tame?

[BigJon930]

That's a fat raccoon

[hsml579]

lol i thought i was playing tasty planet on the ipod for a seccond

[airrick16]

yeah the chinese just torture the hell out these these things

its sooooo messed up to watch

[wickedglitter1]

@airrick16 Just one more reason for us to boycott anything from China. They skin these poor animals alive for their fur. One of many horrors that befall any living thing that has the misfortune of being born in China. Don't buy pet food from China either, or your dog and cat will end up poisoned.

[LKunEspoire]

Gimme that Pup-peroni

[Killkillification]

What's up with the elevator music??

[scarmiglionne4]

Its funny how their butts wiggle when they run off

[LolzRus974]

Must Snuggle Da FLUFFY!

[sedeek55]

TONY TONY CHOPPER

[laurenprittable]

wow, I'm really really diggin the music! no wonder the little guy comes around :b

[silasbree]

i cant even tell if thats a dog or a coon. Its so BIG aha

[Prinzpoldi1985]

@silasbree it's a tanuki. it's neither

[shadoweon]

Lol I love his little run,its so cute. =D

[Ashleyloveslink]

we use to have a racoon, well, not really we were racoon sitting, and he was a crazy animal, when my dad left to work, he came home, and our fish were gone, hmmm, wonder who couldve ate them lol

[CainBitterman]

Can he turn to stone?

[Cha85]

Some good music hehe

[ChrisMagoo99]

dude, I want the name of this song

[xXTjFoDaddYXx]

is it not a badger?

[GuacamoleKun]

@xXTjFoDaddYXx It is not. It's a tanuki. They only live in Asia.

[MrPopgoes12]

Why don't you pet it?

[BasementFlan]

They are so fuzzy and chubby and cute, but they wouldn't be good pets at all.

[SaritaWolf]

Do they bark?

[spencerproracer08]

lolwut??

[TanookiTailTony]

aww!

[VNNJHV]

THIS APPEARS TO BE A RACCOON NOT A RACCOON DOG EXCEPT THAT IT IS BEING FED LIKE A DOG

[UndeadWolfofAshes]

@VNNJHV It's a racoon dog. The body build of a normal racoon is different. This has longer legs and this animal has no thumb joints like normal racoons.

[shniddles]

@VNNJHV Try googling it. They are an entirely different animal than a Racoon.

[guineapiggy202]

i want one!:(

[Frezsparce]

-shakes head at the comment section-

This is not a raccoon. It's a tanuki. It's not even related to raccoons; they just have a similar look; it's like how porcupines and hedgehogs aren't related. Geez.

[PandaXxRawr]

tanuki is badger in japanese . w .

[401silentemo]

super mario status



[staphinfection]

Oh man.... the Coons in my area wouldn't even have fucked with that pinner little snack you had. They would have mobbed that GIANT 50lb bag of dog or cat food just chillin' by the door. They would have dragged that shit into the woods and had a giant sugar orgy all night, and in the morning when I follow the trail of crumbs, I would have found nothing but the bag in a pile of tattered shreds. And the fat coons would be back the next night like nothing happened. Sneaky little bastids.

[staphinfection]

How the Coon Dog was REALLY created: Some asshole trapper cut off it's tail and left the coon to die, but it survived.

[Werewolphe]

@staphinfection by that logic shouldn't amputees all have children with the appropriate missing bodyparts?

[ChrisMagoo99]

@staphinfection no, just stop

[weregrizzly]

"Man feeds tanuki while I play fitting music"

[MrJosh91189]

raccoons are pests pick a rifle up and shoot them

[CameraStudios550]

Dude there is a fucking raccoon in your house...

[Thekentkennedy]

Just a warning, giving him to many treats straight from your hands is going to make then more prone to bite you and others, since he's going to be looking for treats in peoples hands

[Billabang2384]

Now, you must acquire a taste for free-form Jazz

[DailyMorningMusic]

@Billabang2384

hahahahah

[bossudude420]

WTF!!!

[ranchdressing]

Okay, this is very cool, but I have to ask something. Where the HELL is this guy!? I can't decide whether he's in some sort of empty bar or some kind of completely wooden old Japanese house...and with a wooden sliding door cracked open like that.

[Ckarabani]

what is that lol its giant racoon im going to look it up you are letting it in from the wild to feed it? lol *smh*

[i3abyAbbz]

... Tom Nook?

[dakiller234]

@i3abyAbbz OMG@@@@@ I LOVED THAT GAMEEE

[JesterEve]

@i3abyAbbz yea its Tom Nook. Wondering if youre gonna finish paying him those bells you owe him for that house

[darketteoh]

@i3abyAbbz HAHAHHAHA

[AwzumDude]

Me: *Watching video straight after playing Super Mario 3D Land* ... Y U NO FLY?!

[ShiroKreuz]

WTF i want a tanuki as a pet !

[KamuntKurush]

Honestly? The best part of this video is probably the music. It's so inappropriate that it is actually somehow appropriate.

[Icallshots2]

lawl raccon was like yo jack get in here this guy is givving out free meat!

[MsHojat]

WTF you gave the thing 5 sticks? (meat stick?)

That's a lot of calories, they'll just get fat and too reliant on humans. Least you could have done is ration them.

If those were meat sticks they'd also probably have way more sodium than what's within healthy limits, but that's just speculation.

[Brooklynmario]

Does it turn to stone?
