#seaotter #bathtime at the #oregonzoo! Sea otters are actually the largest members of the family #mustelidae - a group of #carnivorous mammals that also includes badgers and weasels. Sea otters depend on their super-thick fur to stay warm in the cold ocean, which makes grooming themselves pretty much a full-time job! #otter #zooanimals #otterlyadorable #fur #haircare (at Oregon Zoo)

First of all, I am now questioning badgers / mustelidae cladotherian.
Second, and most importantly, I am changing up what I’m posting on this tumblr. I will be posting more video game related stuff, mainly Petz Catz 2, Petz Dogz 2, and THE DOG Island.

Fisher by Michel_Rathwell
Fisher is the common name for a largely arboreal, North American carnivorous mammal. Despite its name, this animal seldom eats fish. It is a weasel of the Mustelidae family.
With its speed and agility, the fisher is a remarkable predator that captures a wide diversity of prey: Rabbits, hares, squirrels, mice, grouse, and so forth. Even the well-protected porcupine is captured by the fisher, using a unique technique designed to tire the porcupine until the fisher can kill the large quilled rodent.
The Fisher is a top predator. For thousands of years the dense, lustrous coat of the fisher has been prized.

From this week’s stream:
The last of my mustelid paintings. A tayra (Eirabarbara) and a yellow-throated marten (Martesflavigula).
Want to see more?
This week’s twitch stream results are another set of mustelids. This week I painted a striped polecat (Ictonyx striatus) and a marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna).

His plinth has been made! Definitely have a rough idea of what I can do better next time, skull is mascerating and the skeleton is buried for some hopeful articulation later in the year or in 2022 :)
