Pls just have them make a petting zoo so that I can visit and pet all the animals
Raccoon dogs look very similar to raccoons but have no genetic similarities between them. They belong to the Canidae family, which are known to have distinct dog and wolf like characteristics and appearance. These animals are both carnivorous and omnivorous mammals.
They are monogamous and will mate for life. It is only if the mate dies or is killed, will the other search for a new mate. Two mates will hibernate in one den. During this period they will maintain close body contact to keep each other warm and will groom each other as well. This is a trait not practiced by canines, as dogs neither hibernate and nor are they monogamous in nature.
Raccoon dogs are also known as tanuki, and they feature very heavily in a lot of Japanese folklore. They also get super fluffy and adorable when their winter coat comes in.
If you want to see one in real life, only place in the entire United States that houses tanuki is Zoo Atlanta - they’ve got two bonded brothers named Thor and Loki. Tanuki are really uncommon in zoos around the world, although I’m not sure why - IUCN lists them as ‘least concern’ so maybe they’re just so prevalent as to not be thought “worth” exhibiting. They’re super cool little canids, though, so definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area.
I’m constantly seeing that crying cat meme on my dash and i gotta remind yall that cats and dogs do not cry naturally, those animals all have eye infections
i’m just worried this kind of anthropomorphism is going to lead to people not recognizing that their animals are sick.
dont worry, this is super photoshopped! this is the original, healthy cat:
thats the devil actually

This speech-language pathologist taught her dog 29 words, and he can even form full sentences.

Dogs actually do have a language center in their brains. They process language just the same way we do, just not as well.
They do understand our words. This is not true of all domesticated animals (horses, for example, can only manage to distinguish a relatively small number of spoken commands…but boy do they know what you’re really saying).
They don’t understand “just your tone of voice” as a lot of people think.
As of 2016 the record vocabulary for a dog demonstrating understanding of words is over 1,000.
So if you give them a way to talk back, they’re going to use it.
The development of language skills is probably a side effect of domestication and of being kept in close contact with humans. A dog that was a better hunting partner would be kept and bred and over time they developed a better understanding of language.
In other words, dogs are pretty dang smart because we need them to understand us.
And also that is a very good boy.
video proof that every creature is dogs
I love deep diving vids cause at least some of these animals have never seen a human before and they all so gagged.
I feel like maybe this might be of interest to some.
PRRRRRRRRRRR-PRRRRRRRRRRRR
Reblogging right now because I’m having a random anxiety attack and figured someone else might need soothing too.
Cheetahs are one of my favorite animals, and they have anxiety too! They get spooked pretty easily and actually are often given therapy dogs in order to help them with their anxiety.
They’re very sweet; they just have big claws and big teeth. They’re really loving when in groups and habitually do social grooming for hours and hours. They’re a lovely animal. :3 To hear them purr is a pure delight.
