Japan's invasive raccoon problem has worsened over the last decade despite efforts to eradicate the species. Raccoons are not native to Japan and arrived in the 1970s as pets.
In 2013, the Japanese government reiterated the need to combat raccoons as an invasive species. Raccoons are also desperate to live. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Raccoons are not native to Japan, but were brought to the country in the 1970s following the popularity of the 1977 anime "Rascal the Raccoon."
