This is the Paucidentomys vermidax, the edented Sulawesi rat. It lives in remote rainforest areas on the Indonesian island that is part of its name. It is the only rodent without molars, which it doesn't need because its diet is likely entirely made up of soft, easy to chew earthworms.
Discovered only in 2012, it is one of the most recent species of rodent (and mammal) to be described.

The Celebes crested macaque (Macaca nigra), also known as the crested black macaque, Sulawesi crested macaque, the black ape,the yaki, or the wolai is an Old World monkey that lives in the Tangkoko reserve in the north-eastern tip of the Indonesian island of Sulawesi (Celebes), as well as on smaller neighboring islands. Here they inhabit rainforests and typically spend there days on the ground socializing and searching for food such as various fruits, leaves, buds, seeds, fungus, small birds and bird eggs, insects, worms, snails, and the occasional small lizard or frog. While spending there nights resting high up in the trees. Black macaques are a highly social species which lives in groups of five to twenty-five animals, though occasionally groups of up to 75 may occur. Smaller groups have only a single adult male, while larger groups have up to four adult males. However, adult females always outnumber adult males by about 4:1. Reaching around 17 to 24 inches (44 to 60cms) in body length and 8 to 25lbs (3.5 to 10.5lbs) in weight, it is one of the smaller macaque species. The body is black, covered with rough, thick, and wooly fur. The black face of the primate is coated with a dense layer of hair. Compared to other macaques, their skull is more projecting and baboon-like. Hairs on the top of their head compose a crest, facing up and backward. On the rear they possess distinctive kidney-shaped, bright pink ischial callosities. The tail is short, having the form of a nubbin. The Celebes crested macaque is promiscuous, with both males and females mating multiple times with multiple partners. The receptivity of the females is clearly indicated by an extreme swelling and redness of their buttocks. After a 174 day pregnancy a mother typically gives birth to a single offspring which she will nurse for around a year. Under ideal conditions a Celebes crested macaque will reach sexual maturity at around in three to four years, and may live up to 20.

B is for Babirusa, 4 of Hearts
The babirusa is a genus of pigs on the islands of Indonesia. While killing them is illegal, babirusa are currently threatened by poaching and deforestation. These piggies are notable for their unique tusks, one pair protruding upward from the bottom jaw and another pair growing upward through the skin of their snout and curving back toward their head. Just imagine if a wolf’s upper canines pointed up instead of down. These tusks can sometimes grow long enough to curve back and penetrate the head a second time, which can be deadly. The tusks also sometimes cross each other as they grow, hence the X shape on this character’s face.
I had a hard time finding 1960s style references for this character that could easily incorporate the iconic tusks. I knew I wanted an X on the face, but what about the bottom tusks? I finally settled on making him a chef holding boning knives. This Babi is based on René Verdon, who was the chef for the White House from 1961 to 1965. When I started this illustration, I really struggled to get into it. I think I was having a mild depressive episode. Hoping for advice, I went to show my progress to my sibling. I looked at my work thinking about what she might think and laughed out loud. There’s something so charming about a robot with knives for hands and a deadpan expression being surrounded by hearts. If you’re struggling with your art, have patience for your mental wellbeing and try to look at your art from another perspective. I finally understand the idiom, “you can’t see the forest for the trees.”
