Top row: both Raccoon Mario (left) and Tanooki Mario (right) have distinct ringed tails. In Japanese, Raccoon Mario is called ?????? (Tail Mario), while Tanooki Mario is called the same, referencing the tanuki, or Japanese raccoon dog (an animal visually similar yet unrelated to the raccoon).
Middle: a raccoon. Note the ringed tail.
Bottom: a tanuki. Note the lack of rings on the tail.
Curiously, it appears that despite the original Japanese name of Raccoon Mario not referencing raccoons at all, his tail was in fact based on a raccoon tail instead of a tanuki tail. In addition, this also means that Tanooki Mario is not entirely based on a tanuki, and instead mixes the traits of both animals.

Last week, Musk spent more time talking to reporters than Trump did during their joint press conference. The image to the rest of the world was clear: While Trump hunched over the Resolute Desk, the world’s richest man took the reins. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell measured the time spent talking by each administrative figurehead and found that Musk had spoken 3,666 words at the executive order signing, whereas Trump spoke 2,487 words.”
I am not kink shaming anyone. It’s just hilarious to me that the MAGA strongman the dumbest people in the world worship as some kind of mythical warrior just keeps getting cucked by Edoph over and over again.
