- Type: Prey
- Class: Mammalia (mammal)
- Habitat: Barren rocky landscape
- Appearance: Similar to a tan egg

Not quite, looks slightly enhanced, but they're still cool looking. There's different kinds apparently.

I could've sworn the first pic was AI... there's just something off about it. I think it was the post processing/color tweaking that was throwing me off. Your photos don't have that same weirdness.
What a cool animal!
It's the brightness & saturation levels, I think. :)
Yea, still cool.
I've been seeing a lot of these "color retouched" images being shared around- it's deliberately misleading and we need to call them out as such.
I've seen it a lot in astrophotography, but there they have a reason to remap the colors.
Good point, problematic in some areas but useful in others

Holy shit. That's awesome.
Hello funky friend.
I'd love to meet one one day.
