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.

Several mail artists do agree: one of the most weird animals are we, human beings.
While people call fighting men sometimes 'animals', especially at wars, I think most animals are better than that, because their fights at least have a purpose (getting food, survival of the fittest etcetera).
This mail art I receivd from Reiner Langer from Germany.

Probably not meant for this Real Weird Animals project, but I think it's very apt, showing two mammals, both of them being or threatened to be a victim of violence.
Rainer has a mail art project themed 'WAR', so if you consider to participate, check his website.

Vielen Dank, Reiner!

Wow, this is a strange animal!
It's Phidippus mystaceus, a tiny spider ('jumping spider') who's just 1 centimeter in size

Thank you very much, Micu!

Micu has a blog about three other nice animals, see here.
And together with Jennie she started a very nice project: Mail a Smile. Such a great idea to send smiles to people who can use them, so if you want to participate: check out Mail a Smile and join!
