Tanuki - 3D Print Friendly

Tanuki is often mistakenly translated into English as “badger” or “raccoon”, two unrelated types of animals with superficially similar appearances. Traditionally, different areas of Japan had different names for raccoon dogs as animals, which would be used to denote different animals in other parts of the country, including badgers and wild cats; however, the official word in the standard Tokyo dialect is now tanuki, a term that also carries the folkloric significance. Japanese raccoon dogs live for 7–8 years in the wild, and have reached the age of 13 in captivity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_raccoon_dog A bust sculpted and polypaint textured in zbrush. This modle has been cropped and decimated for easy 3D printing.
