"Forest cow", haha, almost spit out my drink 
Anyway, those feet, the way they're drawn, once again makes me question what kind of person the VMS Artist really was. I mean, it should be obvious for any human being that it's not how feet work. He drew the knuckle so far backwards that it looks like a separate hoof.
Which echoes many other apsects of the Artist's style, it seems to me that he/she was wholly unaware of the basic properties of things surrounding him/her. It's not just a bad copy, it's a complete and utter misunderstanding of the components of an "animal". Like the lobster, too.
What kind of person was the Artist? A cave dweller? A hermit? A prisoner?
Is it possible to apply some profiling techniques to this person based on his/her drawings?
To be honest, there are times where I even doubt that we are dealing with a human here.
