Tanuki final? (is anything ever really final? :D )

Besides the HDRI and a couple of point lights, I ended up making a crude light-bouncing plane

HDRI is Toponga Forrest from http://www.hdrlabs.com/sibl/archive.html

Is it me or has it got 4 ears?

No, I think it’s the shading of the fur going toward the back of the head, which gives the appearance of another ear from this angle.

Of course, I could be wrong, and it IS another ear.
