Eden standing in front of a megatherium fossil at the Field Museum with her new stuffed elephant. This has been one of my favorite extinct animals since I was Eden's age.

Or Great Auk, shuffled off this mortal coil on June 3, 1844.
Eric and I sometimes joke about a species of folder known as the Penguin Diagram Seekers, so this seemed à propos. I just found it ibetween the pages of a book about extinct animal and bird species. It appears to be made from a fish base and was probably folded in the mid 80s. Although the head is good, the flippers are too big and too far foward and the feet are unfinished.
I must have gotten bored with it and shoved it into the book. Which I just did again.
And no, there aren't any diagrams for this.
Stone Mammoth
