Meet Filey Animal Park's new arrivals
Last month two six-month-old raccoon dogs, from the same litter, arrived at the park.
A spokesperson from the Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park said: “They are not to be confused with raccoons from North America and are a totally different species, originating from East Asia.

A competition will be run on Facebook to name the two brothers.
The new arrivals have also joined a pair of striped skunks as well as two blue and gold macaws which arrived a few weeks ago.
Alfie and Chester, the two blue and gold macaws, were donated from different homes and are in “fantastic condition”.

The park are also hoping to develop with more “exotic” animals after being granted a zoo licence last year.
