I've been a long time fans of Rhinogrades, or Snouters, so I decided to invent my own, for fun. Monorrhina Rota is my modest contribution to the big family of the rhinogradentians. Print > www.inprnt.com/gallery/gpra... Process > www.patreon.com/posts/104728... #SpeculativeBiology
A drawing of an animal in the style of an etching. B&w with an old paper texture.
The animal look like some kind of shrew with a long nose and two long back limbs. Its body take the shape of a circle.
It's kind of a donut mouse.

May is the beginning of the breeding season for Rock Ptarmigans here in the Japanese Alps, and it's a good time to check on them and see if they are doing OK (they are classified as Endangered in Japan). It's been a rough few years for them on our local mountain... :(
