#208 Northern Muriqui
They are a wooly spider monkey, and also known as the hippie monkey. They don't fight each other, and they have group hugs in the morning...really!

#200 Great Lake Giant Limpet
Looks a bit like the sorting hat to me. Possibly extinct, rarely seen and only in the stomachs of non-native trout in something like 50 years

Doing a week of extinct Hawaiian birds (or presumed Extinct).
Discovered in 1973, extinct in 2004.

I really fell down on the job here. I forgot to post two days in a row. I can forget what I'm doing while I'm doing it!
The males can get funky shredded horns after they turn 3

#179 Glyptotermes scotti
Well I am not doing great at posting right now. Too stressed with Christmas stuff. Pest week from yesterday, gotta have a termite.

#176 Alcorn's Pocket Gopher
Whew, I started painting this so late but finished in time! 3rd "pest painting"
Tons in the late 90's, but none found at all in 2002. Thought a nuisance by farmers.

#175 Bavarian Pine Vole
Another "but wait...I thought those were extinct!" animal, and 2nd that most people think are a pest. Researcher who "rediscovered" them said it is a sausage with legs

#150 Javan Rhinoceros
On behalf of a wildlife photographer I admire who would love to photograph these. Only about 74 left, but more than there were just a few years ago.

#134 Chinese Puffer
Though they are adorable all ballooned up I didn't want to paint it like that. It isn't fun or good for them and means they felt threatened.
