Sciartober Day 26: One of the subjects that has become a staple in my October drawings, back when I started making Halloween cards, is that there's usually a rodent somewhere. So for the prompt fast, I did the fastest rodent, the Patagonian mara, also known as the Patagonian cavy, a very rabbit-like rodent. I'm not quite sure I got the proportions right. Pentel brushpen, Windsor & Newton fine-line marker, and Prismacolor fine-line marker on Canson mixed media.

Round 1.4

Information about contestants below!

Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum)

Patagonian mara resembles a jackrabbit. It has distinctive long ears and long limbs. The feet are compressed, making them hoof-like. It’s a relatively large rodent with head and body length of 69–75 cm. Primarily diurnal. They prefer to live in habitats with shrub cover. Maras feed primarily on green vegetation and fruit. When running, they have been compared to deer and antelope.

Their social organizations have a unique combination of monogamy and communal breeding. Dens are dug during the breeding season for the young to be raised. Communal living provides protection from predators with the survival rate for young being higher in larger groups than in smaller groups.

Patagonian maras are found only in Argentina and are considered to be a near threatened species.

South African springhare (Pedetes capensis)

It’s a medium-sized terrestrial and burrowing rodent. It resembles a small kangaroo with well-developed hind legs, short front legs, and a long tail which comprises half of its body length. As well as a long tail, springhares have relatively large eyes and ears. Similar to kangaroos, they also use their tails for balance. Springhares are reported to be able to make hops of 20 cm and leaps of 2 m.

The colour of springhare varies from a reddish-brown on its upperparts to an off-white belly and a black tip on the tail. Their fur is biofluorescent.

Springhares are nocturnal animals, who forage during the night and retreat to a burrow during the day. Herbivorous, however, they are picky eaters and often leave abundant plant materials behind in their feeding grounds.

Animal of the Day!

Patagonian Mara (Dolichotis patagonum)

(Photo from Smithsonian National Zoo)

Conservation Status- Near Threatened

Habitat- Argentina

Size (Weight/Length)- 8 kg; 75 cm

Diet- Grasses; Seeds; Cactus; Fruits

Cool Facts- The Patagonian mara is a distant cousin of the capybara. Looking to be a giant rabbit, these rodents are the size of a small dog. When a Patagonian mara is awake, they spend almost 50% of their time eating. Patagonian mara mate for life and live in small groups of mated pairs and their offspring. Communal dens are dug for the females of the group. When the baby mara are born, pairs of adults will take turns caring for all the babies. Patagonian mara are relatively vocal and constantly communicate while feeding.

Rating- 12/10 (A weird, adorable critter.)

Wieder einmal feiern wir das höchste Fest des Christentums, das Osterfest. Leider ist dies für viele Menschen der Anlass, zahlreiche Tierprodukte zu kaufen, von Milchschokolade über "Ostereier" bis hin zum "Osterlamm". Dass dies alles enormes Tierleid verursacht, wird dabei ausgeblendet! 😰

Wir möchten deshalb insbesondere heute darauf hinweisen, dass Kuhmilch ausschließlich für Kälber und nicht für Menschen gedacht ist - und das gilt auch für Käse, Sahne, Milchschokolade usw.! Für uns gibt es hingegen Hafermilch, Sojajoghurt und veganen Käse! 😎🌱

Warum also konsumieren so viele Menschen noch immer Kuhmilchprodukte? Würden sie genau gerne Hasenmilchprodukte kaufen? Oder doch lieber auf Giraffenmilch zurückgreifen? Wir wissen es nicht... 😉

Und was ist mit Hühnereiern? Wer bitte denkt ernsthaft, dass der menschliche Körper von der Natur dafür vorgesehen wurde, Vogeleier zu essen?! Auch wenn wir nahezu alles essen können, wenn es nur ausreichend gegart wurde, heißt das doch nicht, dass dies auch sinnvoll ist, oder?

Wir bitten Euch deshalb, vergesst an Ostern die anderen Tiere nicht und boykottiert sämtliche Tierprodukte - für die Tiere, den Planeten und Eure eigene Gesundheit! 💚

In diesem Sinne wünschen wir Euch allen ein frohes veganes Osterfest! 😊🌱

Anmerkung: Auf dem Bild seht Ihr einen großen Pampashasen, auch bekannt als Große Mara (Dolichotis patagonum). Er ist eine in Argentinien lebende Nagetierart aus der Familie der Meerschweinchen (Caviidae).

Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum)

The Patagonian mara is a relatively large rodent in the mara genus Dolichotis. This herbivorous, somewhat rabbit-like animal is found in open and semiopen habitats in Argentina, including large parts of Patagonia. It is monogamous, but often breeds in warrens shared by several pairs. The average Patagonian mara has a head and body length of 69–75 cm with a tail of 4–5 cm.They prefer to live in habitats with shrub cover, but they also inhabit overgrazed and barren soils in the Monte Desert biome. They have adapted well to a cursorial lifestyle on the open plains and steppe, with long legs, reduced clavicle, and well-developed sensory organs making them capable of running and communicating in these open habitats. When running, maras have been compared to deer and antelope. Maras are largely herbivorous. They feed primarily on green vegetation and fruit. Maras are primarily diurnal and around 46% of their daily activities involve feeding. Patagonian maras are considered to be a near threatened species.
