Made some traditional fanart of Anton Blast! This game is a blast (no pun intended). I made this using Derwent watercolor pencils if anyone was curious about the medium used.

Mole Interest.

On Tuesday, September 12, 2023, Tumblr is awash with mole interest. And quite frankly that's all there is to it.

This, just thought Swerve would fit them pretty well. @yes-i-write-fanfiction you're a genius.

Townsend's mole is endangered in Canada. It has a small range that is restricted to the highly populated and developed Lower Mainland.

Townsend’s Moles have poor eyesight, but vision is of little use for locating prey in the underground darkness of their tunnels. Instead they rely on a highly developed sense of touch, particularly the thousands of touch-sensitive structures on their snouts known as Eimer’s organs. Their long jaws are designed for rapid biting and are armed with 44 teeth for cracking hard exoskeletons. When a mole captures an earthworm it will skillfully and speedily orient it using its teeth, nose and forefeet, so that the head-end is consumed first. The mole then threads the worm between its forefeet, tearing it into pieces with quick, jerky movements of the head and swallowing each morsel immediately. This method of eating facilitates the “stripping out” of gritty organic material found in the worm’s digestive tract and prevents the worm’s angled, bristle-like setae from interfering with swallowing.

The iberian desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) is the shy platypus of the Iberian Peninsula. With a monotreme-looking snout, webbed feet with bird scales in each finger, rat tail and iridescent hair, these semi-aquatic moles inhabit the cleanest headwaters of the Cantabric and Pyrenean rivers (not because it prefers high altitudes, but because of the elevated contamination at lower courses). Of nocturnal habits, it feeds on aquatic insects, such as plecopteran and trichopteran nymphs, thanks to a specialized system of whiskers in its snout and lower jaw, that allows it to detect movement underwater.

Iberian desmans are endangered due to habitat loss and predation from invasive american minks, and despite this, the existence of this little animal is completely overlooked and not popularly known by many. Because of this, conservation efforts and funds for the recovery of its populations are insufficient.
