Rhinogradentia
Rhinogradentia is a fictitious order of mammal invented by German zoologist Gerolf Steiner. Members of the order, known as Rhinogrades, Snouters, Nasopods, or Nasobames, are characterized by a nose-like feature called a ''nasorium'', which evolved to fulfill a wide variety of functions in different species. Steiner also created a fictional persona, naturalist Harald Stümpke, who is credited as author of the 1961 book ''Bau und Leben der Rhinogradentia'' (translated into English in 1967 as ''The Snouters: Form and Life of the Rhinogrades'').
==Background==
Rhinogradentia, their island home of Hy-yi-yi, zoologist Harald Stümpke, and a host of other people, places, and documents are fictional creations of Gerolf Steiner (1908-2009), a German zoologist. Steiner's fictional work as Stümpke is his best known, but he was an accomplished and respected zoologist in his own right. He held a professorship at the University of Heidelberg and later the Technical University of Karlsruhe, where he occupied the department chair from 1962 to 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Development of Biology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (University of Karlsruhe) )〕
According to Bud Webster, Steiner's motivation for the work was instructional, to illustrate "how animals evolve in isolation".
