This is pretty much what midjourney’s opinion was when I tried to make our own pic for the post. No matter what the prompt, it was vaguely feathers.

That Midjourney result is faaar cuter than the ones in the Instagram feed, though.

Biologically speaking: if they had hair, we as mammals had a slight problem with our primal fears, I guess.

Yeah, that first image of the orange snake immediately made me think “Squirmle!” (I never could get those damn things to work properly as a kid. So frustrating. 
)

Like very long, very thin cats. That’s what they would look like.

My immediate thought was “a ferret with no legs”. It seems like mammals that need them though. Reptiles have snakes, amphibians have caecilians, and fish have eels (which have lost some or all of the corresponding fins, anyway). Sea mammals like whales have lost the back pair but that’s it.

An old teacher of mine claimed to have seen a furry snake once, somewhere in South America. Now I know it’s not true, there’s no way he could have resisted adopting it.
