This large ungulate occupies the western flanks of the
island. It leads a largely nocturnal lifestyle using its prehensile nose to
sniff out the juiciest berries of the thorny bushes and shrubs that surround
the beaches and coastal inlets. It is also known to paddle in the shallows and
graze upon the purple kelp that grows abundantly there. It has few natural predators as is it is more
than capable of defending itself with its formidable horns.
Impervious to their stings and possessing superb night vision, the Masked Honey Bear raids the nests of the Forest Honey Bee in search of sticky, sweet rewards.
From September 4th; anyone finding themselves in Philadelpia's historic Old City District may like to check out the latest show at the Arch Enemy Arts Gallery where I'll be showing a Chimera sculpture.
