I think it’s a mouse with a paintbrush. Maybe.

This is the bull. I decided not to linger where he could see me.

I drove up to Burnet, Texas, and had lunch with Steve. He was nice enough to drive me around, showing me a few tourist-y things.

I sketched a rhinoceros based on the image in the book The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals by Joe Weatherly.
