Several forms of intersexuality or transgender occasionally occur in Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides). Some individuals, for example, combine female genitals with testes, while others have a mosaic chromosome pattern that combines a male pattern (XY) with a joint male-female pattern (XXY).

"The common raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides), also called the Chinese or Asian raccoon dog to distinguish it from the Japanese raccoon dog, is a small, heavy-set, fox-like canid native to East Asia. Named for its raccoon-like face markings, it is most closely related to foxes. Common raccoon dogs feed on many animals and plant matter, and are unusual among canids (dogs, foxes, and other members of the family Canidae) in that they hibernate during cold winters and can climb trees. They are widespread in their native range, and are invasive in Europe where they were introduced for the fur trade. The similar Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes viverrinus, the tanuki), native to Japan, is the only other living member of the genus Nyctereutes.[2] Other names for the common raccoon dog include mangut (its Evenki name),[3] and neoguri (its Korean name)." - Wikipedia

Okay so these are raccoon dogs.

Apparently Stelle exists in the real world and her soul is stuck in the body of a raccoon dog :0

She looks very majestic and I wanna bite her face (affectionately) so thank you for showing me this wonderful creature. I will store it in my brain archives until the day I inevitably perish to the sun 💖💖

Thanx for idea, dude @nyctereutes-procyonoides )

Creature looks like a fennec

He likes to sleep and doesn't like noise Don't wake him up for no reason or you'll find out what traits he inherited from tanuki

Vulpini

(From top left, to bottom right: red fox, fennec fox, cape fox, corsac fox)

Vulpini is a tribe (taxonomic rank below subfamily, and above genus) comprised of true foxes (The genus Vulpes) and the fox-like Otocyon and Nyctereutes genuses. It is also the sister tribe of Canini.

(Take a wild guess what species this fella is)

With some exception, members of Vulpini closely resemble the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). For example, small size (relative to other canines, such as wolves or coyotes), bushy tails, and prominent ears are traits generally found within Vulpinids. Alright, stage set, lets get into it.

The best scientific name

(Thought I was gonna say the red fox, didn't ya?)

The corsac fox, Vulpes corsac (vulpes means fox, I cannot find the meaning of corsac) so, the corsac fox's scientific name, is a word meaning fox, and the word corsac... this is about as good as it gets, friends.

Honorable mention(s): Vulpes zerda, Vulpes Vulpes

The littlest baby

(SO CUTE)

The fennec fox's (Vulpes zerda) ears are just about the only big thing about it, they're not just the smallest fox, but the smallest Canid (true canine) as well.

Males are 15.4 to 15.6 inches (391.16-396.24 mm) long, not counting their relatively long, 9.1-9.8 inch (23-25 cm), tail. Females are generally even smaller, coming in at 13.6 to 15.6 inches (34.5-39.5 cm) long, their tails are the same length. They weigh 1.5 to 3.5 pounds (0.9-1.4 kilograms)

Honorable mention(s): Blanford's fox, cape fox

The weirdest

(AKA: Chinese/Asian raccoon dog, mangut, and neoguri)

The common raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) They are not a raccoon, or a dog, but a fox-like canine.

They're such lil weirdos! They look like raccoon in color palette, but don't really have the right body structure, so uncanny, yet cute.

Also, they're one of few canids to climb trees (but they aren't arboreal) AND they're the only canid to hibernate, their survival depends having enough extra fat built up for Winter.

Honorable mentions: Fennec fox, bat-eared-fox

The most Vulpini-y

(Was there ever any doubt?)

Vulpes vulpes, need I say more? I mean, just look at it, it (and its scientific name) screams fox.

They are unique in their highly adaptable nature, sadly they're a bit too good at it. Red foxes are very invasive, considered one of the world's 100 most invasive species, a list by the IUCN which includes not just animals, but all types of species, even viruses, so yikes.

Ironically, despite their name they are often afflicted with melanism and leucism, conditions which alter their pigmentation and therefore color.

Honorable mention(s): corsac fox, arctic fox

The biggest baby

(Haha, they friends)

Measuring at 22-32 inches (56-82 cm) with a 14-16 inch (35-43 cm) long tail, they are suprisingly light for their size, weighing just 15 pounds (2.7-6.8 kilograms)

Honorable mention(s): Arctic fox

My favorite

(I'm big enough to admit a lot of the reason I favor them is because they're amazingly cute)

Their huge floppers are multi-purpose-ears, not just giving them amazing hearing, but they also help to dissipate desert heat! They can go for long (I can't find out how long exactly) without drinking water, getting hydration from food or licking dew, they are the only carnivore in the Sahara Desert able to do so.

The thickness and color of these lads' fur helps with the heat as well.

Honorable mentions: Arctic fox, bat-eared-fox

The most threatened

Woohoo! Yeah! No picture, you know what that means?! It seems all Vulpinids are least concern, the least endangered possible rank on the IUCN's system.

Nice.

@outlawiism ✹ ✹ ✹ PLOTTED !

SHOWING UP ON peter's grandfather's doorstep with twenty - or - so adolescent procyonoids would maybe have been enough to attract attention had the people of earth not seen enough weird shit to last them a lifetime ; this little town, quiet && rather empty is a strange && welcome reprieve from the intergalactic cities rocket's used to.

( there's a melancholic feeling in his chest as he looks around at this place, seeing it for the first time in a new light: not some foreign planet like it had been once, but his place of origin. in reality, he's just an earth dude, same as peter. the thought is more comforting, in a way, than he ever thought it would be. )

"do you know how many hoops i had to jump through to clear these guys for docking? it's almost like animal trafficking is bad, or something." the sarcasm in his voice is biting, but there's a mild grin on his face, && he looks more relaxed than peter's probably ever seen him. "anyway, uh, thanks for this. means a lot. ain't room for these guys on knowhere anymore, && y'know..." he kicks at the ground awkwardly, && picks up one from the litter — the smallest one, which has started wandering off — && herds it back with the rest. "they're from here. they deserve to go home, too."

now, as they walk down a wooded path far off the road && away from any people, rocket stops to look his friend up && down.

"you look like you fit in here. i'm guessing y'ain't tired of this extended earth vacation yet?"

[rikaklassen]

Well, wanted to ask bestie if they want to go to Finland with me to visit Pavel since he was going to sire a third litter and I wanted to see him before he passes away of old age. He's getting up there in his years. He's now 11. I miss him terribly. Oh well.

Pavel's current co-owner cancelled the litter plan.

To be honest, it would be an awkward to ask anyway because bestie abhors hunting. We haven't talked yet about whether she detests recreational hunting, commercial hunting, subsistence hunting, wildlife conservation and all the nuance in between (bioethics and environmentalism in itself are also very diverse!) since animal liberation politics and abolitionist views on animal exploitation is multifaceted.

I do know bestie is an anti-capitalist and a vegan. But neither positions are indicative of someone's views since a previous partner is also a vegan for ecological reasons, and she directed her abolitionism at industrial agriculture, recreational entitlements and other systematic issues. (For instance, commentary about moose-human conflicts would be centered around how moose benefits from timber plantation system and logging of old growth-forests to the detriment of other wildlife. Or how the root of human-wolf conflict is seeing the wolf as an adversary and a competitor and farmers' or hunters' refusal to accommodate and co-exist.).

Pavel was rehomed to a hunting home where he participates in an eradication program to remove the invasive raccoon-dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) to preserve native wildlife (such as waterfowls, reptiles, amphibians etc). And the most efficient way of removing raccoon-dogs is using dogs.

(Ironically, raccoon-dogs were introduced to regions west of East Asia because of the economic blockades against the Soviet Union, in which only fur, gold, grains and other commodities were allowed to be exchanged with the anti-Communist bloc. But that's a post for another day.)

Hence the social awkwardness.

I would like to visit Pavel some day. Just need someone to assist with navigating the public transit and the airports. 😊
