Nyctereutes stegmanni Matschie, 1907. The common raccoon dog ( Nyctereutes procyonoides ), also called the Chinese or Asian raccoon dog to distinguish it from the Japanese raccoon dog, is a small, heavy-set, fox-like canid native to East Asia.

It is one of two species in the genus Nyctereutes, alongside the common raccoon dog ( N. procyonoides ), [3] of which it was traditionally thought to be a subspecies ...
These dogs can withstand high heat without tiring and need—or rather, love—tons of exercise. In fact, an Australian kelpie named Abbie is the top surfing dog in the world because that is a ...
For this study, the researchers sequenced the DNA of two dogs, Kedves, a 22-year-old female, and, Buksi, a 27-year-old male. Why do some dogs live really long lives? New findings might provide clues
The areas where they live can get as warm as 38 °C (100 °F) in the summer and as cold as −37 °C (−35 °F) in the winter. [19] As prairie dogs live in areas prone to environmental threats, including hailstorms, blizzards, and floods, as well as drought and prairie fires, burrows provide important protection.
Some of them can withstand extremely cold temperatures down to 0.01 K (−460 °F; −273 °C) (close to absolute zero), while others can withstand extremely hot temperatures up to 420 K (300 °F; 150 °C) for several minutes, pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds ...
But it’s a perfectly honest mistake. After all, in that get up, it’s shockingly the exact shape as a bear. Even in the video clip, you might mistake the silhouette for a bear until she zooms ...
