I noticed a new detail on Mystere Au 24, near the rhino bursting into the room, which itself has a small bird perched on its ear. A book has fallen from the shelf, opening to two pages of butterflies / moths while a pair of them flits about above the book as if it has come to life.
I tied it to show off the wonderful fox that appears to have dropped in through the fireplace and looks a little stunned by the scene playing out. I just love this Jonathan Burton design so much!

Lanternes has critters. I need to combine this scarf more creatively.
And Au coeur (twins with some) and Les Léopards.

Good morning!
What a downpour of exquisite ACdlV this week!!! I am happy about my black cw, but boy are the others delicious as well!!!!
I have always thought that the design was only depicting Madagascar wildlife but the zoologist says that there are several South American birds as well, and if we allow for that artistic and continental drift, then the elongated creature with the tail can indeed be a kinkajou as cleverly suggested by @FA73 - and as @EtsyBoss concluded, not a fossa, as their tails cant graps like many south american creatures.
Thank you for raising and solving this critter mystery!

Cute critter and elegant cw. Excellent research!
Good morning again!
Some animals are rarely seen on scarves, and equally rare in nature. A few animals are more prolific on scarves than in the Wild, as they have gone extinct - due to natural disasters, evolutionary or environmental changes or human actions.
Besides dinosaurs, which are imho too large to be called critters, I have not found many extinct animals on the scarves. One Though is - what I believe to be - the great auks on Pytheas.
These fligthless large Black and White birds were abundant in the Arctic and north Europa, from New Foundland, to Scotland, Greenland, iceland and the Faroe Islands. Due to human hunting the large colonies disappeared before the early 19th century, and collectors became obsessed with getting specimens, once it became clear that the species was becoming rare. The last breeding couple of great auks were killed and collected in the 1830’s, their skins and organs sold to various merchants, museums and collectors. Today only a handful of eggs and skins exists in museum collections in the world. The vicera and eyes of the last birds is today exhibited at the natural history museum in Copenhagen as a remembreance of human actions and a lost species.
In the same exhibition are specimens of dodo, passenger pigeon and thylacine, all also gone due to human behavior. But are any of these found on scarves? Please let me know!
But there are other rare animals still left in the world and portraied on scarves. The monk seal on La vie precieuse de la mediterannee, the pangolin on Wild Singapore and the platypus on Le Geographe. And off course the lemurs etc on ACdlV!!
(This is where the pangolin photo would have been if I owned a Wild Singapore. Alas I do not. At least not yet)
New spring cw of Pytheas
And le geographe - very difficult to show off the platypus (is that a saying?🤔)
As I visited the Natural history museum in Oslo yesterday I saw several extinct and threathened creatures - as taxidermy. here are the platypus, the thylacine and the pangolin. And an echidna off course…
Please share with us:
What is your favourite rare animal on scarves?
Wish you a day of survival!!!

Again such a wonderful and informative post, brilliant, HermesEchidna. This excursion sounds very very interesting. If you permit my questioning, are you doing professional research, i.e. will your observations and sightings find their way into scientific studies or is this more an informal, privately based expedition? In any case, I find the issue of biodiversity extremely important and I'm happy that I can actually actively do something in this field, via my garden. But on a national level, here in Switzerland, it has proven impossible to convince farmers to yield small streches of their land to nature and not exploit all of it. They have such a big lobby. As to extinct animals, I'm sadly not capable to find any on my scarves, I can only make a guess, but I will surely post something!
Congratulations, it is very beautiful on you! ... and I love esp. the black one!Thank you @redheaddem, @HermesEchidna, @Jereni, @Croisette7, @Jacq1, @Cookiefiend and @Redbirdhermes for the nice comments on my Carnaval des Animaux. I was late to the party on that one but I never met a black hem I didn't love and in the final analysis the scarf is very endearing! And thanks for the good wishes; we had heartening news on the medical front so
And because I don't want to be left out of the Au Coeur de la Vie Party, I will share my third cw and newest one:

Twins with several of you on these, and not sure I am done yet with this design!

Thank you so much!
I love it so much, Lellabelle! It's irresistible!
today with Jardins Secret with lizards and frogs
Hello and good morning,
When Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492, I imagine there were many species which today don't exist anymore. I hope, these cute little birds still do - or have they only sprung from the imagination of Monsieur de Parcevaux in the first place? So many questions!, I only hope there's also an ornithologist on board, HermesEchidna! 😄🐦
