Bamboo Rat

Vintage illustration of a Chinese bamboo rat. This fellow is as large as a small rabbit and likes to feast on bamboo roots. This copyright free illustration may not be cute and cuddly but it sure is interesting.

Our Parlour Panarama proved to be a great find. George Cupples and his publisher T. Nelson and Sons used a number of great illustrations in this 1882 release.
