Raccoon Dog

Raccoon Dog - f/3.5 | 1/400 sec | ISO 400
During our time in the bear hide in Estonia we had the opportunity to see several individual raccoon dogs! - Yes they are called raccoon dogs not just raccoon's - although the look similar they are not closely related.  

On the second night one was determined to get to the fish despite two large male bears chasing  the mother and cubs away from the food and up a tree  it continued to sneak around in the longer grass, going undetected which was very funny to watch. I like the way each one seemed to have a personality of its own!
