Anyone have any ideas on what species these fellas are? I'm stumped

Also I didn't see this guessed yet but I think this is a Siberian Musk Deer since it's the only Musk Deer that's vulnerable (the rest are endangered) and it looks very much like a musk deer cause of the fangs!
I had guesses for the sneks and other deer too but lost my tabs cause chrome crashed lol xD

The Siberian musk deer has white markings on it's neck, so I doubt our deer to be of this species.
For me, it looks more like a Water Deer.

I have never really liked a draft horse litter before (nothing against the artists! I’m just not a horse fan) but the draft horses this month are absolutely stunning and are probably my favorite designs this month, along with the cat litter. I’d love to see some of the designs converted to a dog or cat lineart someday!

Here’s my favorite pets so far !

I can't wait til we know for sure what the deer, foxes, and snakes are! I'm naming all of mine accordingly so they've been waiting lol

I'm curious, and sorry if this has been asked before/is known (I read the last 5-6 pages but didn't really find anything about this) - the blue deer from the endagered set is missing it's eyes in the adult version.
Is this intentional/normal for the species it's portraying or an oversight?

It's likely a species of blind cave fish- there are multiple that are listed under several categories but I couldn't find a specific species listed as vulnerable with a quick search.

Could also be an olm or blind cave salamander?

The deer doesnt have external gills, when those animals do have them, so either a reference was used of one with really bad gills or it isnt meant to be an amphibian with external gills. As other animals have gotten line edits to resemble more what they are

I agree with the texas cave salamander hypothesis! the colors and conservation status seem to match up.

the only guess I have for the second one is a lemur's leaf frog? probably not it but it has the same conservation status

I know everyone's saying fish for this guy but the colors personally remind me of a hummingbird :)
I think we've gotten a lot of birds though so I wouldn't be surprised if this was a fish or reptile

The only one I thought I could tell what it was right off the bat, and it turns out there's multiple blue-tailed skinks 😂 But it wasn't hard to figure out that it's likely the blue-tailed shinning-skink!

From a quick glance at the list, this one seems like a Kihansi spray toad, going by the texture?
