AOTM
About
The Marbled Polecat is a small mustelid, meaning it's in the same family as otters, weasels, and ferrets!
It lives in southeastern Europe, stretching far east through Russia and even to China
As an omnivore it eats small rodents, fruits, insects... and has even been known to steal cheese!
It's known as a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and misuse of pesticides
A male marbled polecat is called a Hob, while a female is called a Jill!
This month's submissions:
Want to participate?
Creating artwork is fun, and helps us to learn and connect with other people!
Participating in AOTM is easy:
1. Be creative! Make anything inspired by this month's animal.
"Bad Artwork" doesn't exist, anything from stick figures to scribbles is encouraged!
2. Upload your artwork using the email in the button, let me know if you're comfortable with me sharing it :)
That's it! Hopefully you enjoyed making something... even if you don't want it shared, you made something super cool!
Help choose next month's animal!
What is Animal of the Month?
Animal of the Month was started as a way to share and celebrate 2 of my favourite things: animals and art!
Sadly, both of these things are under threat:
Habitat loss, misuse of natural resources, and global warming mean many animals we may not even know about are endangered or even facing extinction.
AI image generation means many creative people lose opportunities to create, it even is trained on the hard work of artists without their permission.
AOTM is a way to learn about and protect new animals, and share the hard work of creative people... that includes you!
