What are these (sorry theyre dead). Found in central texas, my mom thinks theyre otters but theyre not native to our region to my knowledge? They were REALLY big though. easily five inches to seven inches wide and over a foot long

Oh man... These are North American River Otters (Lontra canadensis).

There are otters in Texas - they're rarer in some regions, but it's still possible to find them. But it's strange to find so many of them dead like this, in such close proximity to each other. As far as I'm aware, it's legal to hunt them, but they're usually hunted for their fur, so I'm not sure why someone would just dump the bodies.

Here's the otter! The stream is right in front in the darkness so he must've jumped out and went running by.

Help me decide what animal photos should be added to the free image reference repository next!

This will usually be a perk for Patreon supporters, but to start the website off right I decided to make a public poll. All of these species will be added to the repository eventually, so this poll is for what you want to see right away.

Feast your eyes upon the options:

The gangs all here

The love given to the first piece inspired me to do another one with more flags!

ID: a digital drawing that features seven members of the Mustelidae family, colored with the palettes of different pride flags. From left to right and top to bottom: a wolverine with the theme of the intersex pride flag, behind it, there are purple and yellow circles; a chinese ferret-badger with the genderqueer pride flag colors, and some sparkly onomatopoeias in the same colors; a black-footed ferret colored with the genderfluid pride flag, a heart in blue, pink and white and a line with the flag colors besides it; a river otter with the aroace pride flag colors, as well as exclamation onomatopoeias; a steppe polecat in the demiboy pride flag colors, a crown and a heart over his head; a striped polecat colored with the demigirl pride colors, which also has a little crown and a heart around; lastly, an american badger colored in the queer flag, and holding a little one. End ID.
