My first proper glaze firing went really well, so here are some sunbeam glamour shots of a few of the new ungulates!

This one below is my fav because for some unknown* reason, its horn un-swirled itself during the glaze firing, but in a cool way that would have been very fiddly to do if I was sculpting it like that on purpose?! It's particularly interesting to me that the horn didn't shift at all during the bisque fire, then went SPROING just in the glaze firing. Pottery is wild, you guys!

P.S: I will be posting an update on the medieval vessels as soon as I figure out where the HECK icloud has put those photos / get organized enough to switch back to using dropbox for my phone --> computer photo needs b/c icloud is always doing nonsensical shit.

*by 'unknown' I mean 'probably because I'm very lazy about properly scoring/slip-ing the body of the horn, haha whoops

hello i just wanted to ask an ungulate enjoyer, what's your favourite goat?

Technically I could just answer this with the Takin again, but i will spare you and give you my second favorite goat:

the Himalayan Tahr (Hemitragus Jemlahicus)

but if you meant my favorite domestic goat that's a tie between Angora Goats & Kalahari Reds

#ask #takins are also found in the Himalayas actually #ungulate

Wolves Keep Brain Worm–Spreading Deer Away From Moose Populations in Minnesota

Wildlife managers now face the challenge of creating conservation plans for all three species while maintaining balance between predator and prey animals

In Minnesota, moose used to roam the boreal forests by the thousands. The population had 8,800 individuals in 2006, and since then, numbers in the northeastern part of the state alone have fallen by 64 percent, reports Liz Scheltens for Vox.  Warmer, shorter winters, tick infestations, liver issues, wolves, and parasites all contribute to declines in remnant Minnesota moose populations, reports Dennis Anderson for the Star Tribune. However, the biggest threat may be migrating white-tailed deer. As deer entered moose habitats, they brought brainworm, a fatal parasite to moose. While harmless to white-tailed deer, the parasite (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) causes disorientation, extreme weakness, and the inability to stand in moose. It may be a critical factor as to why Minnesota's northern moose populations have declined significantly...
