A dwarf otter colored bunny. They don't have the eyespots, but i kinda think about if they do.

Name morphologies anything but what they're for challenge:

Dinovember day 24, 25 and 26: Tsintaosaurus, Atrociraptor playing in the snow and Dablioceratops with eyespots

Pov: You're a Lythronax and he spotted you

The tsintao is completely inspired by helmeted guineafowl, which have funky casques

Hi! Love your blog and your work! What do you know about these guys? Are false eyes common in amphibians?

Yeah false eyes are really quite common in amphibians. We normally call them inguinal spots, which is a fancy way of saying hip spots. They show up in hundreds of species across numerous families. Few are quite as developed as Physalaemus nattereri, but e.g. Plethodontohyla ocellata is also pretty impressive.
