This is my second attempt at miniature painting. This is still a work in progress, but it is starting to come together nicely.

Dwarf Golden Hemlock Bonsai - Very slow growing. It will reach 3.5' tall in 20 years when planted in the landscape. Very rare and hard to find in my area, unless you know the guy who discovered it. Discovered and propagated from a Witch's broom.
The Common Dwarf Mongoose (Helogale parvula), sometimes just called the Dwarf Mongoose, is a small African carnivore belonging to the mongoose family (Herpestidae).
The Common Dwarf Mongoose is primarily found in dry grassland, open forests, and bush land, up to 2,000 meters in altitude. It is especially common in areas with many termite mounds, their favorite sleeping place. The species avoids dense forests and deserts. The Common Dwarf Mongoose can also be found in the surroundings of settlements, and can become quite tame.
The species ranges from East to southern Central Africa, from Eritrea and Ethiopia to Transvaal and South Africa.
The Common Dwarf Mongoose is a diurnal animal. It is a social species that lives in family groups of two to thirty animals. There is a strict hierarchy within a group, headed by a dominant pair. The dominant female is usually the leader of the group. All group members cooperate in helping to rear the pups and guarding the group from predators.
Dwarf mongooses are territorial, and each group uses an area of approximately 30-60 hectares (depending on the type of habitat). They sleep at night in disused termite mounds, although they occasionally use piles of stones, hollow trees, etc. Territories often overlap slightly, which can lead to confrontations between different groups.
Generally, only the group's dominant female becomes pregnant and she is responsible for 80% of the pups reared by the group. If conditions are good, subordinate females may also become pregnant but their pups rarely survive. After the gestation period of 53 days, 4-6 young mongooses are born. They remain below ground (within a termite mound) for the first 2-3 weeks. Normally one or more members of the group stay behind to babysit while the group goes foraging. At 4 weeks of age the pups begin accompanying the group.
A mutualistic relationship has evolved between Dwarf Mongooses and hornbills, in which hornbills seek out mongooses in order to forage together and warn each other of nearby birds of prey and other predators

An african dwarf crocodile me and rakie saw on our visit to zsl whipsnade zoo on saturday :D
This crocodile was smaller than most iv seen, but still a cool crocodile. I guess being small makes him more suited to being in a zoo... crocodile
on Friday evening. Ok at first I just had two spare cages and was thinking of getting a dwarf hammy, so I wrote an ad and I got an e-mail "I'll present a dwarf hammy girl, 4months old, tamed" and I was lost... I mean, it's not like giving away baby hammies, I felt so sad knowing someone wat to get rid of a tamed 4months old hammy...so here she is...
There is just a problem...Matýsek seems so unhappy about it, I thought he wouldn't mind as she's not a syrian but he's so nervous hearing her run in wheel or I don't know what...well I hope it's just this and not he's ill or something...hearing about so much hamster tragedies lately makes me nervous and overbearing?? this word is probably wrong.
