One day

Good evening, Ezo raccoon dog.

His neighbor is an Ezo brown bear. They are getting along well.

It is said that raccoon dogs do not dig their own dens, but use the dens of other animals, so they also use the dens of brown bears. It is also said that raccoons do not dig their own dens, but use the dens of other animals, so they also use the dens of brown bears.Also, For some reason, the Ezo raccoon is not preyed upon and has been found to nest near bear dens. There is a description.

こんばんはエゾタヌキです。

お隣さんのエゾヒグマさんです。仲良くしています。

『タヌキは自分で巣穴を掘らず、他の動物の巣穴を利用するとも言われているため、ヒグマの巣穴も利用する。』また『なぜかエゾタヌキは捕食されず、クマの巣の近くに巣を作る例が確認されている。』との記述あり。
