I recall this rendition of the Tellarites somewhat vividly even though I haven't seen that book in ages. I liked how they really took a better take on the Tellarites being evolved from porcine like ancestors, like we from primates and Cat from cats!

The medical technical manual mentioned that Tellarites typically had multiple births and abdominal teats and more than two at that, but okay. This website shows scans of the entire book which unless they got permission might violate copyright laws (I'm a coder not a lawyer...) (see alt)
