New information about this mysterious creature:
...When I asked Yi about this, the answer was 4.0 ;)
Hi Rinda:

The little guy looks maybe HARMLESS but not at all INNOCENT, well endowed for his necessities (1).

If you got H.4, maybe the answer was in relation with the scientific researchers.

I didn't seek the scientists, the scientists sought me.

Meng can mean ignorant, but children's potential for knowlege is outstanding. A child can be ignorant of things tahat fall beyond his experience. Even more, the mole rat is not a child, at least the individual shown in the pictures.

(2) I'm afraid that science is profitable but usually disrespectful with wildlife.

I imagine the 4 could refer to the people trying to understand the mole rat.

(Doesn't the name of hexagram 4 show a well-hidden animal?)

Hi Hilary:

Chinese also have MOLE RATS 鼴鼠yan3 shu3 but those DON'T GO NAKED, maybe they are not shameless like the africans seen in the previous posts. (1)

Here with a YELLOW scarf:

The traditional character for MENG2 depicts a pig (or animal) with horizonatal stroke in the head (number one?) inside a cover or roof with grass. A lonely animal hidden inside a camouflaged well?

Some ancient BONE characters look different: a bird below a box, maybe TRAPPED.

And the first WELLS dug in China were hidden holes for catching animals. Then, the animal, here the mole rat, can be the innocent, ignorant, dumb.

Ancient chinese DOCTORS (2) were wu1, witches, not strange that they could speak with mole rats among other animals.

The Witch (to the Mole Rat): Did you were looking for me?
The Mole Rat: Yes, I love to talk a little, but don't try to investigate too much about us.
(Mole Rats are social people).

All the best,

Charly
