Here's an update about #raccoondogs in #Finland! Extensive #hunting has made a dent in the number of raccoon dogs and this is reflected in reduced nest predation of #waterfowl. Also! Raccoon dogs in the north move longer distances than those in the south, unhindered by barriers like roads. (1/2)

I know Tanukis aren't endangered, but they do legit need awareness as people think they are raccoons rather than canines and the fact they are often killed for their fur and that their fur is often mislabeled as "faux fur" when exported. #tanukis #animals #awareness #raccoondogs

In #FCKCHINA every day hundreds of #RaccoonDogs are #SkinnedAlive for stupid jacket hoodies or collars, I´ve watched some very graphic videos a few years ago to know what I´m talking about, I do not recommend that to others.

Yay! I want to participate in #FluorescentFriday #FluorescenceFriday. These are old, from 2011 pub. Used #FISH to identify #canid #Bchromosome regions. In 3 canid species, Bchrs contained duplicated Achr material. #Vulpesvulpes #redfox #cKIT #oncogenes #raccoondogs #Chinese #Japanese #Nyctereutes
