Weird Existing Animals

Call for Mail Art: Weird (existing) Animals! Platypus, Tapir, Okapi, Echidna, Mole, Axolotl are some of my favourite animals. They have in common that they exist irl and that they are uncommon. Which animal do you think odd? Send your image of an unusual (existing, no fantasy) animal. All media are welcomed, preferable postcard size (10x15 cms), maximum A4 (20x30 cms). No jury, no fee, no return. All weird existing animals will be published in this ongoing virtual exhibition.

The axolotl is one of my favourite animals. I don't know whether this is because of the name, or because of his/her appearance, or probably both! As a child I had a picture of an axolotl in my animal encyclopedia, and years later, when I saw him/her in a zoo in real, I still thought this an intriguing creature.

Thanks to Nicole Eippers I now received this friendly Axolotl in my mailbox!
Together with, of course, Nicoles famous Flying Pig - Cochon Volant.

Nicole has an ongoing mail art project, see her blog Piggy One Mailart.

Hartelijk dank, merci beaucoup, Nicole, ik ben er blij mee!

Suus in Mokum

Don't know which name I would give this animal, whose glasses and ears contain my favourite colours. Anyhow, the title is 'Ik zie blokjes met nieuw brilletje', 'I see cubes through new glasses'.
Made and sent by Suus in Mokum.

Hartstikke bedankt, Suus!
