AI interpretation; anatomy from a dated account.

Overview

Eatroff’s account describes dark to reddish-brown fur, a long cartilaginous snout, strong forelimbs and clawed feet. A bone supports the snout; a lower incisor’s groove conveys venom from a jaw gland.

Daytime refuges include tunnels, hollow logs and rock cracks. At night it digs for invertebrates. The account records conflicting reports about eating plants, rather than establishing an exclusively animal diet.
