Prompt 30: Hoof [‽]
The Osprey Camel
For the hoof prompt, jumping a little forward to Just The Zoo of Us episode no. 4, featuring the Arabian Camel and the Osprey.
Bear with me on this prompt because we'll get right into why this prompt doesn't technically fit our animal hybrid!
Just like the Arabian Camel, the Osprey Camel has two large toes ending in what are often called hooves, but are actually more in line with toenails rather than true hooves! The bottoms of their feet are padded and help cushion their feet and keep them from sinking on hot sand. 
Still, they are nominal hooves in general conversation and hopefully the technical inaccuracy can be forgiven with me fitting my 31 hybrids to the prompt list. 
And this has been your interesting animal fact (learned via a fantasy animal hybrid) for the day!
Color Vision:
While I have not colored this creature (yet), I envision their coloring is mainly inspired by the osprey.
Side note: To learn more about the inspiration behind this series, please check out the captions in any of my first three hybrid animals from this month!

Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.
I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!
Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:
🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.
🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.
🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)
🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.
🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.
🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!

Camel Limited-edition Artists Packs (1999)
These limited edition cigarette packs were designed by artists Christopher Chiappa, Damien Hirst and Nan Goldin in the context of Camel’s cultural initiative Work in Progress, which claimed to "support leading edge work in film, fashion and the visual and performing arts. In partnership with museums, cultural agencies and individual artists, building bridges between our communities and today's best new art."
The packs were sold for as much as $8 at select clubs and locations in New York and Chicago, and were advertised in magazines and newspapers such as DETAILS, Chicago Reader and Time Out New York. Nowadays they are considered expensive rare packs.
Each of these packs were accompanied by a small card containing a quote from the artists and a brief introduction.

They could also be obtained in a box with small cut-out windows that displayed the designs next to each artist's name.
Artists card information and sources can be found under the cut.
Damien Hirst "I want to spend the rest of my life everywhere, with everyone, one to one, always, forever, now."
DAMIEN HIRST, infamous for exhibiting bisected animals and specious pharmacies, wants you to believe he also has a gentle, pastoral side.
Christopher Chiappa "Television made me what I am today."
The art of CHRISTOPHER CHIAPPA is always branded with a sly wit, whether he's parodying high art or mass advertising. Either way, he finds that being a product of contemporary culture can be a humbling experience.
Nan Goldin "My photographs are the diary I let people read."
The most influential photographer of her generation, NAN GOLDIN challenges the boundaries that separate art and life, transforming everyday moments into images of rare emotional honesty.

Just two besties after a day of murder.
I absolutely adore them, like the Pearl/ Gem dou is so much fun they're such menaces to society.
