Read moreAnother fascinating short from @99piorg . 80% of Japanese Buddhist temples have suffered damage from raccoons. Some of these temples are a thousand years old and it is hard to repair all the damage and restore the original structure. /1
Read moreInterestingly, raccoons are not native to Japan. There was a cute cartoon show about a raccoon on Japanese TV in 1970s. During that time period, thousands of baby raccoons were imported from USA as pets. /2
