Overview

The animal behind the card

An opportunistic omnivore, it searches for insects, small animals, fruit and carrion. A strong sense of smell helps it forage through leaf litter after dusk.

Unlike most other canids, it can greatly reduce activity in winter. The tanuki also has a long cultural history in Japan, where it appears in stories and art.

Bestiary facts

Unlike most canids, tanuki can enter a winter torpor when food is scarce.
