A new English official artist has been commissioned for warrior cats, to what purpose is unknown, but Joshana Tarkela, most known in the fandom for their work in the Polish main arc covers, has been illustrating some iconic warriors characters, with a reveal coming each day this week.

I want to stress that there is currently zero implication Owen Richardson is being replaced as cover artist as of 18th May.

First up: Firestar!

This monument in Kazakhstan makes me so emotional.

5 people linked hands to save the dog, but there are only 4 in the statue...

I was thinking of just drawing its hand at first because that's what Manipulonyx reshetovi is most known for. But I ended up wanting to draw the whole dinosaur :p

Friendly reminder:

No, you don't want that otter. No, that is not a pet. No, that up close encounter where you can pay to cuddle with an otter is probably not ethical. No, I'm pretty sure that channel with a guy and his pet otters is not a legitimate "animal rescue", stop recommending it to me.

Yes, the otter is cute. Please admire them either from a distance, or behind a barrier at an accredited facility. Thank you.

.....no I'm not going insane seeing how flooded social media is with unethical otter content.

The recent popularity of otter cafés in Japan caused a rise in animal trafficking & poaching of these otter species in Asia. Asia isn't an exception: the same will happen anywhere. The more popular an exotic wild species is as a "pet", the more it encourages poaching & trafficking. Even if you can give your exotic animal the best living conditions (which is always more complicated than with a domestic species), this factor will always remain

If you want a pet, you want a domesticated species. If you want a domesticated mustelid (the family otters belongs to), we have one: it's called a "ferret"

Yes, they do require specific care you need to learn about (like any animal, wild or domestic), no they don't look exactly like otters (it's the closest you'll get in domestic animals though) But they're a lot more adapted to live in human houses, and they're not at risk of being poached in the wild. Mostly because like dogs or domestic cats, they don't exist in the wild

Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)

the broken-wing display is one of my favorite examples of innate behaviors!! many bird families have evolved this trait independently, but killdeers are so iconic for it

per usual the original guy for fun

(working through redrawing all the birds in an old book I made!)
