Yaverland's little devil (for wikipedia)

Published:

Description

Yaverlestes gassoni, a small spalacolestine spalacotheriid from the Wessex formation. Yaverlestes is known from very fragmentary material, so I used close relatives (Akidolestes) to help me reconstruct this little devil. Colours based on Possums, Raccoons, red pandas, and quolls.

Now a bunch of filler that holds no scientific basis

Yaverlestes
lives in small burrows in the forested areas of the wessex floodplain. Due to how territorial the mammal is, Yaverlestes lives a mostly solitary life. Yaverlestes falls prey to many of the predatory animals in the region, so most spend their time in the trees foraging where they are safe, as well as leaving their burrows mainly at night.
