Armadillos will not be fun. I'll have to go through the whole family to see which ones are the ones that are geared towards being social insect specialists. Some of them are pretty good scavengers, so I don't know if I should include them. (I really want to exclude some because many don't look different at all from each other XDD.) Pangolins are annoying because of the scales, but there are less of them and they are 100% bug nommers. I will include some of the small bear species who suck (literally, they suck bugs ;D) for the lulz. I should totally do a field guide style uber analysis with fancy icons and the whole shebang. *

Ffff, you'd better finish it, I really want to see this :D And ohgod, pangolins. Those buggers are a pain in the neck to draw...I don't think armadillos'll be nearly as bad as pangos.

I would post asking "what animals are like [this], guys?" in the
Yellow Pages thread over in DC on DF.
And I would go "bearcats are like that" :B But so are lots of other animals. But it can be a start if you want it?
As for mementos...I have
this on my wall next to my computer (because Whiskerwing is a lovely person <3), the keyring of
this, and an old cigarette card that was part of a collectable set about animals of London Zoo (because Michael from the forum is a lovely person <3) and
this, which I commissioned and wear every day :D I'd love to get a binturong skull to match my human skull, and there are now
binturong stuffed toys (ohgodsyay) so I definitely want one of those one day :D
Ohai, the internets tell me that I could
buy a bintie for $4800 US.
