So, a friend requested that one of my little animal drawings be of a snail, and while attempting to draw a snail, I ended up with this weird looking guy.  Based on its various features, it's clearly an example of the rare Hermit Bear Shrew family, known to be shy and elusive, and rarely documented in the wild.  Textures include photos of fabric, paper with pencil marks, and abalone shell.
