Mole Snouters (Rhinotalpidae)

Description

Of the 2 genre, and 9 species mentioned in the book, only these 3 mole snouters were illustrated, two of which were only drawn from a ventral view. But, thanks to the use of 3D modelling, and some imagination, I've reconstructed this family of snouters to the best of my ability. The colours are my least favourite part to do, because I know that my chances of getting them correct are infinitely unlikely, since, similar to dinosaurs, we don't know what colour most of the rhinogrades were. Now I know how paleoartists must feel.

Instead of me summarizing what these are and how they lived, you can just read about them here: www.sivatherium.narod.ru/libra…

And as always, Rhinogrades were created by the brilliant and imaginative Gerolf Steiner.

Growing up is realizing that planarians evolved from rhinograde mammals.
