I’ve always wanted to try #the100dayproject, but I know if I try to do it with felting I won’t be able to keep up. So instead I’m going to try doing #100daysofEDGEspecies drawings. I’m not going to put too much pressure on myself to post every single day, but I will commit to getting to 100! I’m sure I’ll get ideas for new woolies to make along the way as well.🙂 The @zsledgeofexistence programme focuses on highlighting and protecting the world’s most Evolutionary Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) species. I’m excited to showcase some of these lesser known and super unique species. 🌱 Day 1/100: Attenborough’s long-beaked echidna. This egg-laying mammal is one of three species of long-beaked echidnas and named in honour of Sir David Attenborough. It lives in the Cyclops Mountains in the Indonesian province of Papua and is considered to be Critically Endangered. The species is known from one specimen collected in 1961. They are very hard to locate, as they are nocturnal and spend their days in shallow burrows or hollow logs. . . . . . #100dayproject #artchallenge #drawingdaily #EDGEspecies #echidna #zaglossus #monotremes #evolutionarybiology #biodiversity #naturalhistory #endangeredspecies #makearteveryday #dailydoodle #procreateart #animaldoodle #the100dayproject2019 #wildlifeart #wildwhimsywoolies https://www.instagram.com/wildwhimsywoolies/p/Bvz1Prrgd6X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1euydtxuff6pm
