Bornean Banded Langur
80 Days - Day 32

They look as if they haven't slept in months. They are hunted and 80% or more of their habitat is gone mainly because of palm oil

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!

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

Kouprey

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

Glyptotermes scotti

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.

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

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.

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.

Table Mountain Ghost Frog

Continuing Halloween themed week. This is a 2 for 1...eye of newt, toe of frog and ghost in its name. I'm thinking this frog is from Macbeth.

Green-eyed Bushfrog
At a 4x6 there is no way I could do the eyes justice unless that was pretty much all that was in the painting. I may do a bonus eye painting later today. Can't believe I've made it to 50!

I am still new to Twitter so I forget to post. I'm going to post the rest of the week of lemurs in groups to help get myself caught up more.

Gerp's Mouse Lemur
I did a whole week of lemur paintings. Starting with a tiny one, they weigh only a couple ounces. Again, an "in progress" drawing phase and the finished painting
