INPRNT
So I read this article after I'd finished the Kazinian giant wombats, figures. So this one is from Llayad! Mukupirna lives in the Llayan mountains where it doesn't burrow, cos the ground is too rocky or boggy. It lives on seges, roots and tubers.
WOMBATS. BEST ANIMAL. Two of these bad boys did exist, one of them basically existed I've just exaggerated the bit that has probably been disproven, and the last one still does exist. I love wombats. I'm so sad the other ones are all long since extinct. How cool would it be if diprotodon still existed? omg.
Speaking of, the beeg boy, diprotodon. Speaking of, the Kazinians just call them 'giant wombats' because Latin names will make no sense in Tsyllaes. Giant wombats are about 2m tall at the shoulder and, in the southern mountains, they're used to do strong things like plow fields, pull tree stumps out of the ground, drag entire trees along to where they need to be milled. Cos look, you can't prove to me diprotodon wasn't tameable, and this is my world and I'm putting farming giant wombats in it. Yes, I know I already have draft makakis, I don't care, diprotodons are stronger.
Zygomaturus, which doesn't appear to have a common name so far as I can find, so Kazin calls this one the rhinobat, because it's about the size of the Llayan rhino (which may or may not look like a modern rhino, idk, I'll get to them) and its snoot does the thing where it goes up like a horn! I have no real reason for these guys to exist except that they look funny and I like the progression down to wombat. Rhinobats live in the tropics and do the same heavy work of the diprotodons in the southern mountains.
Palorchestes Azael, which I will never in my life be able to remember and anyway this isn't 100% it, so. The makabat, cos it has a trunk! Maybe. General consensus now seems to be it had more of an elongated top lip, more like a giraffe, rather than a trunk, but in my world with makakis I like to have a bit of a connection. Plus it's not like I'm ever going to use its Latin name, anyway. I feel like they might be farmed for meat? Idk. We don't eat wombats, which may be because they're nowhere near as common as kangaroos or because they just aren't good eating, but idk. These guys don't exist anymore so whatever, I do what I want. Maybe they're tough and you need a lot of garlic but you'll get there in the end.
Which brings us to the good ol' wombat <3 I love wombats so much. This is a southern hairy-nosed wombat specifically, with him long floofy butt and longer nose than the common wombat, which is your more traditional perfect wombat face. Hairy-nosed wombats are derpier and therefore better. Common wombats also exist in Kazin but I wanted to draw hairy-nosed.
April the 13th, 2019 The giant wombat was an excellent pack animal. It had an even temperment and was good at carrying both heavy loads and heavy people.

I mean we killed off giant wombats. Why.
Pretend to be a Dinosaur Day – RAWR!
Happy pretend to be a dinosaur day everyone; although I can’t say I have actually done this today, I have celebrated by going to see lots of dinosaurs at the Australian museum! There were exhibits with massive skeletons of dinosaurs and also of loads of animals. It reminded me in a nice way of being back in Manchester Museum, and I felt very knowledgeable about the echidnas! There were bits about the snakes of Australia too but I tried to hurry through those bits. We had the debate the other day “which creatures would you prefer to bump into”? I chose (most to least) crocodile, shark, spider then snake, although I’m not sure where cockroach fits in there yet.
The cleaning yesterday in the hostel was pretty gross but at least it was only 2 hours. The worst bit was the horrible washing up that lazy skanks had left in the sink, but I’ve bought some marigolds today (actually they are pink so maybe more like fuchsias) so it should be better. Not much else to day really, but the joke in the picture below from the museum made me laugh! Also check out the giant wombat.
