Yesterday, July 3 (Thu), a tanuki raccoon was apparently spotted in Satsukigaoka, Nishinomiya.

It’s really pounding the ground and trying to intimidate them. Growling when angry seems to be universal among animals.

Correction. We received a note pointing out that it’s a raccoon. It appears to be a raccoon, not a tanuki.

Here it is on the map↓

Around Satsukigaoka, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Believe it or not, this is the same Satsukigaoka where eight raccoons appeared just the other day.

Here’s a past article about foxes that’s kind of related

Not long ago, badgers were showing up all over Shukugawa too, so maybe they’re getting more active now that summer is here. Wonder what will appear next.
