Spooky Scary Skeletons

*fairly long post about animal cranial anatomy*

Contrary to common belief, rabbits and hares (Leporidae), together with pikas (Ochotonidae), do not belong to the order of rodents; They are, instead, lagomorphs.

I won’t dwell on behavioral or dietary differences, but I will show you a small detail of the skull that makes them distinguishable at a glance. First, let’s see if you can spot it yourself!

Got it? The answer lies in the incisors. While rodents have a single upper pair, often (but not always) colored red or orange - lagomorphs have two pairs of incisors in the upper jaw.

These teeth are called peg teeth, and they help them grind fibrous food.

Hey folks!

I have up to around 7 slots open for commissions with no decorative elements. I suppose these will be the only slots available this year - next booking will be for 2026 commissions.

There are three types available:

classic pet

classic animal

noodlize me

All commissions from this batch will be completed no later than December 15th, so this could be a great opportunity to get a gift for yourself or someone else before the holidays. If you need it by a specific date, just let me know in your email.

I think all the important informations are on the images, but feel free to ask if you have any questions!

And I was like “yeah I can reasonably fit that on my bookshelf 😃”
