I thought at first it was a rather large tarantula! (shudder)

  Hehe, that was my first thought too – fuzzy spider paws! Really huge ones!

    I really wish I didn’t know about spider paws right now… *shudder*

I love NTMTOM’s supposedly “scientific name” for the the Fuzzy- tusked Rock Walrus. I’m trying to guess what kind of animals are hiding. I don’t see any tails, the fur looks coarse, and they’re small, anyone have ideas?

  Google translate of the Japanese title on Twitter ハリネズミのおしり (Harinezumi no oshiri) is Assault of a hedgehog.

  Mike has tagged it as ‘hedgehogs’ but otherwise I’d just be guessing.

Well, I guess this says more about me than about the image, but I was thinking “big butt, not much else”” and wondering how the rest of the critter must look.?

  I’m awake. I didn’t feel like going to sleep so I was up until 6:30. Now it’s noon and I am up. Drinking some cocoa. Gonna go get my free birthday drink at Starbucks before I go to dinner. And I need to get milk.
  
  I’ve been up late pretty much every night this week. Tomorrow morning is gonna suck.
  
  Thanks for the birthday wishes! ??

        Did you make it to Longhorn? I had to search it on the webs to see what you were referring to. Damn, thinking about it now, I could go for one of those molten thingys.

        I have half my cake left. (Had to finish the ice cream, of course.)
        
        Also, Moscow Mules are pretty tasty.
