Description
A revised and much more accurate version of an older drawing I did: clawedfrog.deviantart.com/art/…Given the information the book has provided me with, this is as close as I'm gonna get. Looks good, no?

I'd like to see a Shaggyfaced Snouter, they have multiple nose variations! MULTIPLE NASAL FORMS.

Oh, I'm certain I'll get back to drawing snouters sooner or later. But yeah, the Shaggyfaced is real cool. The only real megafauna of the Hy-yi-yi islands.

Still pretty big for a group of animals typically the size of a mouse.

Well actually the Nasobames were 3ft, and Mammontops was 4ft 3.

How do these guys even fly? Their wings are fairly thin.....

They use their nasarium to leap backwards to give them sufficient lift. Once in the air, they use heavily modified jugular muscles to flap their "wings" and are able to fly. The book goes into a lot more detail about the evolution and bio-mechanics of the process.
