Maystelid day 16 - Chamitataxus (extinct)
[ID: digital drawing of an extinct species of badger, similar to an American badger, drawn over the photo of a notebook page. The whole animal was drawn blue, and it's walking toward the viewer. Unlike the American badger, this one has a white stripe that starts at the nape, across its back, all the way towards its tail. Its scientific name, Chamitataxus avitus, is written above it. End ID]
Ancient badger! I based its coloration on Nobu Tamura's, since that was the only reference I could find. Little is known about them since the only proof of their stay in this world is a skull found in 1935 in northern New Mexico, United States. They lived here during late Miocene, the boom of badgers.

An extinct badger species from the Miocene. We actually don't have a complete fossil of Chamitataxus as of 2026- just a skull
