Tom Nook is a tanuki, not a raccoon. Tanuki aren’t raccoons they just look like them kinda. Tanuki are canines, whereas Raccoons are in the family Procyonidae. Raccoons’ front paws are hand-like, whereas Tanukis’ front paws are like a dog. Raccoons are native to North America, while Tanuki are only native to Japan. See this helpful slide from Tumblr on their differences.

Wait a hot fricking second. They’re real?? I always assumed they were folklore.
You can never be sure about a tanuki though. They can turn into statues and fly.
How would you like it if someone said all humans are either sitting in a car or planning to?
Damn, even American ANIMALS are US-centric! 😄
(The vast majority of the world has significantly fewer cars per capita than the US)
I envy you
I’d want to know who squealed, they’re going to be sleeping with the
fishracoons.
Never interrupt a raccoon heist. I accidentally did that once and got jumped by 3 of them because I scared the lil dudes. Had to get rabies shots. Now they just swipe the eggs my ducks lay outside and leave my house and trash alone. They’ve been terrorizing my neighbor. Guess she better start leaving treats or something too lmao.
The ladder one is prime album cover for the raccoon’s band, with each one looking in a different direction
