[oh-dear-so-queer]

Several forms of intersexuality or transgender occasionally occur in Raccoon Dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides). Some individuals, for example, combine female genitals with testes, while others have a mosaic chromosome pattern that combines a male pattern (XY) with a joint male-female pattern (XXY).

"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. Named for its raccoon-like face markings, it is most closely related to foxes. Common raccoon dogs feed on many animals and plant matter, and are unusual among canids (dogs, foxes, and other members of the family Canidae) in that they hibernate during cold winters and can climb trees. They are widespread in their native range, and are invasive in Europe where they were introduced for the fur trade. The similar Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes viverrinus, the tanuki), native to Japan, is the only other living member of the genus Nyctereutes.[2] Other names for the common raccoon dog include mangut (its Evenki name),[3] and neoguri (its Korean name)." - Wikipedia

Okay so these are raccoon dogs.

Apparently Stelle exists in the real world and her soul is stuck in the body of a raccoon dog :0

She looks very majestic and I wanna bite her face (affectionately) so thank you for showing me this wonderful creature. I will store it in my brain archives until the day I inevitably perish to the sun 💖💖

Vulpini

(From top left, to bottom right: red fox, fennec fox, cape fox, corsac fox)

Vulpini is a tribe (taxonomic rank below subfamily, and above genus) comprised of true foxes (The genus Vulpes) and the fox-like Otocyon and Nyctereutes genuses. It is also the sister tribe of Canini.

(Take a wild guess what species this fella is)

With some exception, members of Vulpini closely resemble the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). For example, small size (relative to other canines, such as wolves or coyotes), bushy tails, and prominent ears are traits generally found within Vulpinids. Alright, stage set, lets get into it.

The best scientific name

(Thought I was gonna say the red fox, didn't ya?)

The corsac fox, Vulpes corsac (vulpes means fox, I cannot find the meaning of corsac) so, the corsac fox's scientific name, is a word meaning fox, and the word corsac... this is about as good as it gets, friends.

Honorable mention(s): Vulpes zerda, Vulpes Vulpes

The littlest baby

(SO CUTE)

The fennec fox's (Vulpes zerda) ears are just about the only big thing about it, they're not just the smallest fox, but the smallest Canid (true canine) as well.

Males are 15.4 to 15.6 inches (391.16-396.24 mm) long, not counting their relatively long, 9.1-9.8 inch (23-25 cm), tail. Females are generally even smaller, coming in at 13.6 to 15.6 inches (34.5-39.5 cm) long, their tails are the same length. They weigh 1.5 to 3.5 pounds (0.9-1.4 kilograms)

Honorable mention(s): Blanford's fox, cape fox

The weirdest

(AKA: Chinese/Asian raccoon dog, mangut, and neoguri)

The common raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) They are not a raccoon, or a dog, but a fox-like canine.

They're such lil weirdos! They look like raccoon in color palette, but don't really have the right body structure, so uncanny, yet cute.

Also, they're one of few canids to climb trees (but they aren't arboreal) AND they're the only canid to hibernate, their survival depends having enough extra fat built up for Winter.

Honorable mentions: Fennec fox, bat-eared-fox

The most Vulpini-y

(Was there ever any doubt?)

Vulpes vulpes, need I say more? I mean, just look at it, it (and its scientific name) screams fox.

They are unique in their highly adaptable nature, sadly they're a bit too good at it. Red foxes are very invasive, considered one of the world's 100 most invasive species, a list by the IUCN which includes not just animals, but all types of species, even viruses, so yikes.

Ironically, despite their name they are often afflicted with melanism and leucism, conditions which alter their pigmentation and therefore color.

Honorable mention(s): corsac fox, arctic fox

The biggest baby

(Haha, they friends)

Measuring at 22-32 inches (56-82 cm) with a 14-16 inch (35-43 cm) long tail, they are suprisingly light for their size, weighing just 15 pounds (2.7-6.8 kilograms)

Honorable mention(s): Arctic fox

My favorite

(I'm big enough to admit a lot of the reason I favor them is because they're amazingly cute)

Their huge floppers are multi-purpose-ears, not just giving them amazing hearing, but they also help to dissipate desert heat! They can go for long (I can't find out how long exactly) without drinking water, getting hydration from food or licking dew, they are the only carnivore in the Sahara Desert able to do so.

The thickness and color of these lads' fur helps with the heat as well.

Honorable mentions: Arctic fox, bat-eared-fox

The most threatened

Woohoo! Yeah! No picture, you know what that means?! It seems all Vulpinids are least concern, the least endangered possible rank on the IUCN's system.

Nice.
