One of the only carnivores you can walk in the enclosure of and not only won’t you get attacked, they may try to play fetch.

    So, there are 2 types of raccoon dogs: The Japanese raccoon dog (Tanuki) and the Common raccoon dog (Neoguri and Mangut). Also the scientific name for this animal is Nyctereutes. They're usually common in Asia, but the Common raccoon dog has been recently introduced into Europe, where it's considered an invasive animal. The Japanese raccoon dog is distinguished from the Common raccoon dog for its smaller stomach and less fur.

    The segment on the cookie cutter shark hit a lot deeper than I expected. As a kid growing up, I watched this show called "Animal Planet's The Most Extreme," and the CC shark made the number one spot on the episode about "Most Extreme Bites [sic]." At the time, however, there was no footage or even any pictures of the shark due to how elusive it was. Now, 20 years later, we have a pretty good idea of what it looks like and in the past decade there have actually been encounters with them. This is crazy. This man is carrying the Most Extreme torch very professionally.
    Animals I would add to part 2:
    1) The hummindbird moth. These are actual moths that mimic hummingbirds for some reason. They use their proboscis like the hummingbird's beak to drink nectar from flowers, and they even "hover" like hummingbirds too. They can actually do it for longer since they don't get tired like hummingbirds, so it's kinda like when someone copies the answers on your homework and gets the higher grade. I saw one in Texas six years ago.
    2) The vampire moth. This one can be interchangeable with the previous entry. Most people think moths are harmless and don't bite, but this one does, and it's definitely cooler-looking than a mosquito.
    3) The basking shark. It's one of three major kinds of filter-feeding sharks known for its gaping mouth and harmlessness to humans. It's not harmless to your mental health, though. They have a very peculiar look, like they've been designed by Vincent Van Goh.
    4) The mega mouth shark. Like the basking shark, it's a filter feeder, but instead of keeping its mouth open, it looks like it's permanently not impressed. Rarely seen by people, probably because we aren't impressive enough.
    5) The grasshopper mouse. This mouse, despite its name and size, also hunts, murders, and eats tarantulas, giant centipedes, and scorpions. It also howls at night like a wolf. Don't take my word for it. Look up the National Geographic video. I couldn't believe it either. Also, in captivity, they've been known to kill and eat other mice.

When I was in grade school the teacher asked us our favorite animals that lives in the water and mine was Narwhal because they are like unicorns of the sea. My classmates didn't believe they existed and the teacher has to pull up a picture of a Narwhal for the class.

    You should definitely do a video like this again. There are so many weird and underappreciated animals.

    Rediscovering half the animals on this list made my fricken day. Maned wolves and raccoon dogs are 100% slept on and finally get some recognition. Thank you Casual ✊

      Aren't raccoon dogs like, ultra popular in Japan though? Like, the legends about them having huge testicles, and that one anime about a blue robot raccoon dog from the future.
