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.

Roland Halbritter

I love those pink German 'Entgelt bezahlt' postal things!
This beautiful added-to one I received from Roland Halbritter from Germany. Or is it from the WAO, the Weird Animal Organization?
Check the nice stamps: the famous Bunny, and a beautiful, however also poor, sparrow who apparently has little 'Durchfall' at the moment and who is warning us to not eat rotten food.

And check Roland Halbritter's great new blog, which shows portraits he painted of people at their birthday.

Vielen Dank, Roland!

Beautiful stitched artistamp, showing a Naked Mole Rat! A real funny animal. Family of the Damaraland Mole Rat.

Virtuosily created by Angela Behrendt from Germany. And sent by myself!?? - according to the text on the paper :-)

Look how kind the Letter Center of Hannover (the Briefzentrum of Hannover, part of the German Mail) has been! Not only they paid the postage ('Entgelt bezahlt'), but also they added a beautiful cancellation stamp of the city of Hannover.

Herzlichen Dank, Angela!
