Tamandu

from the Museum- the animal was posed facing into a termite mound, plus there was an information panel in front of the display case, so it was hard to get a good view of him.

The Tamandu is a small arboreal anteater

odd ones

some strange critters I drew at the Museum of Natural History, animals I'd never heard of before, much less seen or drawn

Pink fairy armadillo I do believe the first one pictured is the exact specimen I drew
Solenodon, a shrewlike creature with a long snout
springhare, an animal in its own family. Its hind feet have very long straight claws.
