This all creatures animal exploitation photo gallery about Raccoon Dogs is being presented to show the public the difference between the cute animals we see in advertising and picture in our minds and the reality that exists in the world.
(Raccoon Dogs - Wishful Thinking - 03) The raccoon dog's diet depends on
where they live and the season. They are omnivorous, and will eat just about
anything they can find, from rodents, lizards, frogs, ground birds, seeds,
fruit, berries, insects, and spiders. They are able to eat even toxic frogs and
toads. They cannot eat larger prey due to weak dental structure; the teeth of
raccoon dogs are very small in comparison to other canids. Also, their
carnassials are weaker, but they have more developed molars for chewing plant
matter. which is a good indication that if there were an abundance of plant
foods, they could easily become vegan. Raccoon dogs are primarily nocturnal
animals, and they start to hunt for their food after sunset, taking a break at
around midnight. They are rarely seen during the daytime. On their search for
food, they can cover up to 12 miles (20 km) in one night. In areas where they
live along the shoreline, they hunt on the beach at night for shellfish and
carrion washed ashore by the tides.
