I’m currently working on a new Lesser-Known animal, so I thought I’d post the initial idea and sketches while I work on it.
Here’s the story so far.
Shrews are known for their long snouts, but the snoutiest of all shrews by far is the Trunked Shrew. The Trunked Shrews nose is as long as its body and has a tail longer than other species to act as a counter-balance.
Shrews are known to be aggressive, however, this particular species has a unique defence mechanism. It is able to suck water up into its trunk and then squirt it at a predator, which usually buys it the time in which to escape.
I’ll be expanding on this story shortly.
I’ll also be making sure that the cat is a little bigger next time, as at present its almost as small as the shrew. However, that could spark an idea for an entirely new Lesser-Known animal.
