Thanks a lot! And well, every one have their own favorite animals, then I'm biased too

Β‘IncreΓble! =O Me encanta como lo has representado, las proporciones, el color y la textura del pelaje... y sobre todo la cabeza! Puede apreciarse una clara influencia de Deinogalerix

Muchas gracias
Por cierto, aprovecho para preguntarte que piensas sobre el tamaΓ±o del animal... ΒΏ500 kg es demasiado grande o estΓ‘ en lo posible?

Sinceramente creo que es demasiado grande para un animal isleΓ±o descendiente del erizo...
PD: Siento no haber comentado dΓas antes, tuve que estudiar para unos cuantos exΓ‘menes.

Eso es psoible, pero 500 kg es el tamaΓ±o de un oso de Kodiak y su Γ‘rea de distribucion no es mayor que el area de Nueva Zelanda. Pero a lo mejor haya que reducirlo a 100 kg...

The info of Leggurm says 3-4 m in length and 500 kg in weight (the proportions of a huge bear)

Isn't that a bit too big for New zealand? I mean considered the raised sea-levels its probably even smaller than today.

ΒΏSerΓ‘ la perspectiva de la cabeza?

Si, es eso, la forma en como has pintado el pelaje del animal, te quedo realmente bueno

Nice
Don't take it the wrong way, but I thought that it was a animal that was about to take the role of a hippo.

Perhaps you mean this one: [link]

Ah, I saw that one before, but it looks more like a tapir than a hippo, to me.

No problem, I guess that is because the short legs and large head... although I based the head in the extinct hedgehog Deinogalerix with the body of a bear. Anyway, maybe it can swim in rivers for food.

Ah okay
But its a cool deal. I mean, hippos are really dangerous and actually kill more people in Africa than any other species, so it would be a compliment.

A hippo-hedgehog? the idea sounds good, but I'm not sure if in New Zeland could exist this niche... well, this is another question to the group.

Yeah, but who knows?

Amazing! I really like the concept!

Thanks for the support to this animal.

You're welcome! It's actually quite amusing to think about the fact that this creature and the chevrotain dolphins evolved from such cute creatures as hedgedogs and chevrotains!

Yes, every cute animal have a inner monster
By the way, see this Indohyus:[link]

Aww, cute!
So what's up next, Monsterbunny or Super-guinea pig?

Maybe these could make good concepts for future evolution

Yes, just as Tyrannosaurus evolved from fluffy Compsognathus-like creatures and the lion and tiger from the small Cimolestes...

awesome, would never of thought of that idea

Well, the original concept is not mine, but thanks

The second I read "gigaerinaceus" I was like: "Wow, what? A giant hedgehog?" And I was right! XD I love the looks of it, it still has some resemblance to a hedgehog even though it's a completely different animal right now... The hedgehogs I know are cute little guys, but I certainly wouldn't appreciate meeting this big fella in a dark alley!

Yeah! it definitely looks like something from the past, especially the jaws!

Thanks, it needs some additional works, but is the basic idea: a crossing between a bear and Deinogalerix

Well, I'm very happy with it.
