giraffupine

As a teaching assistant, sometimes I like to practice doing the same assingments my teacher gives out to our students. Our current project is to morph two different animals together, draw it and write about it. The giraffupine is my creation. As you can see, a giraffe with porcupine quills.

As an amateur biologist, I discovered this specimen in the desert surrounding Bumblebee, AZ. It's 1 1/2 stories high and six feet long. It eats acacia tree leaves and uses it's quills as a defense to protect itself when lieing down.

Have you ever created your own animal? I'd be curious to hear about it.

Cute! In a prickly sort of way.

Well I've never heard of a Giraffupine, however, i have heard of a liger - another pretty off the wall one. Never seen one, but you never know. Hopefully your Giraffupine doesn't ever get an itchy back he may have problems.
