DUNNARTSONA (for real this time) its a julia creek dunnart :)
a homage to a tiny carnivorous marsupial dunnarts are such a cool but under appreciated animal; born the size of a grain of rice with no bones but use their shoulder/arm muscle and tendon to find their mom’s teat, and no need for an adult to find water as its all sustained from their prey, lovely lil’ critters
