I think it's a Photoshopped mole rat. The eyes, painted fingernails and opposable thumbs give it away - I think?

Pretty sure this is photoshopped too, but it's still a cool critters image.

^^^That one has a very hip tailor...his outfit is so dapper. Eastern barred bandicoots are pretty cool: Yet another highly endangered Tasmanian.

I thinking of hunting and trapping a new fur coat this winter and he would make a great color pallet for it, red fox, black beaver and mink for the mahogany. I can find all three within a mile of my house. I'm actually going to make a parka for myself, I've been saving coyote "faces" before I sell the pelts, I've got ten and need about eight more. Each face will have the nose removed, the eyes stitched shut and the ears pinned back. I'll use two tube skinned complete pelts for the sleeves. Each face pelt forms a diamond shape that is alternated making every other face upside down. I got the idea from my uncle in Alaska who had the Inuits fashion one from wolf he had shot. The ears, whiskers and eyelashes make for a surreal looking coat. Warm too.
Mom taught me to sew at a very young age (I though sewing machines were the coolest toys ever) and I've made leather pants, jackets and vests over the years but this will be my first attempt at fur, all the fur and undercoat has to be combed or sheared out of the way before you can stitch making it very tedious. I'll have a friend sew in the lining when I'm done and I'll post photos of the project as it unfolds next winter and spring.

Wild Bill Hickock is alive and well and tailoring fur coats in North Dakota...LMAO. Might I suggest that for shearing the fur out of the way for seam allowances, you try using a set of hair clippers with a small head set on No 1. Should make it a lot more accurate and less labour intensive. It's what they use to get the fine detailed lines of those tribal hair tattoos I showed you the Samoan kids love so much. Very easy to mark out a strainght line and follow curves.

You should have seen two of my great uncles coats. He was a RCMP north of Winnipeg, I found them in his attic in an old trunk when I was a kid along with his guns and red waistcoat. They were full length riding coats slit up the back for the saddle with straps to turn the coat tails into chaps. He must have been quite a sight in all that fur and red. One was a buffalo robe the other red fox. The fur was shedding and the coat moth eaten but I saved the brass buttons and epaulets

The platypus is such an odd looking creature that when Sir Joseph Banks sent back the first samples of it, his colleagues at The Royal Society were convinced it was a jape and he had stitched together elements of a duck, an otter and a beaver to fool them. They began trying to pull it apart rather than autopsy it before they realised it was an actual critter.
