Meet some very weird (and endangered) animals.
I know this is supposed to be
a site with online drawing lessons, but these weird
and wonderful animals were "left over"
from an old site that doesn't exist any more. I coudn't
bear to lock them away in the closet, so here they are.
I hope you enjoy learning about these strange and bizarre
creatures. I may even be adding more, after I'm finished
with my new
griffon painting.

articles about these wonderful creatures.

Duck-Billed
Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus).
This critter is so weird, many scientists thought
it must be a hoax when the first skins were sent from
Australia! |
 |
Short-Beaked Echidna
(Tachyglossus aculeatus), a spiney, anteating
mammal that lays eggs! |
 |
Aye-Aye
(Daubentonia madagascariensis) One
expert called this one of the most distictive (and rarest)
mammals on earth. Find out why. |
 |
Hooded
Seal (Cystophora cristata) The seal
that carries a balloon on it's head and blows bubbles
from it's nose. |
 |
Sloth
(Choloepus hoffmanni and Bradypus tridactylus)This
is the animal that spends all it's time upside down.
Except once every three or four days, when he comes
down to go to the bathroom. Everything about this guy
is slow! |

Pegasus
(Equus pegasii) Ok, we all know
Pegasus wasn't a real animal, but I thought this was
a good place to hide him. If you would like a beautiful
poster that you can print on your own printer, click
on the picture of Pegasus. The full-size printable picture
will take a few minutes to load. It looks great in a
frame, and you can give it as a gift if you'd like.
