Anyway, I've seen them around our area, but of course, Satoshi never believed me.
Until the other day, we were checking out the anti-social cat that lives down the street and Satoshi said, "look there is another cat"...
nope, it was a tanuki.
Bummer, I don't have a camera in my eye to show you the tanuki we saw, I did find a picture on Wikipedia though...at least now Satoshi is a believer.
Wow, never gave it thought that they were still around, when we visited japan 20 years ago they had ceramic figures all over the place, I just assumed they were endangered or extinct.
ReplyDeleteAhahahahaha!! Now, if only a duck would fly by . . .
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I loved seeing them in the zoo by our place (in Japan obviously), but it would be even cooler to just see them out and about!
ReplyDeleteit is amazing the types of wild animals in our area Mich!
ReplyDeleteha ha Jalna, he actually saw one fly, so he is a believer of ducks too :)
the cat whose food he was raiding, wasn't too thrilled, LJ, but we were amazed to see one so close up...
Take care everyone!

with a cute face like that, there has to be a cartoon character in Japan. I prefer the name Racoon Cat!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome....or kinda scary.....
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't doubt there is a cartoon character somewhere in Japan Rowena!
