Domestic Pig

Rice's Whale I can proudly say this is one of the few illustrations done of this new species, the Rice's Whale. Named in 2021, It was previously thought to be a subpopulation of the Bryde's Whale until further studies proved the opposite.

The sad news is that is critically endangered and along with the vaquita, those are two of the most scarce cetaceans in the world which happened to inhabit the same environment. The causes of its decline are still unclear but are believed to be because of the industrialization of the Gulf of Mexico.

The oil spill disaster in 2010 killed nearly 20% of its population.

Babyrousa babyrussa

The skull of the Babirussa along with the important teeth of the lower jaw in order to be compare with its relative found by Clement Van Burden, also in the Jungles of Vietnam. The Sus Cofra Satanae or Satanic Boar as Clement decided to named after studied its destructive behavior.

The Irrawaddy Dolphin. One of the aspects I enjoy most about this project is the opportunity to learn as I work. Before getting involved with dolphins, I had no idea how many different species existed. Now, each time I work with them, I’m struck by the incredible diversity in their shapes and behaviors. This experience also highlights how much there is still to discover about them. Despite feeling a sense of familiarity with dolphins, the extent of the unknown is astonishing, and it amazes me how little we know about many of them. Join the club here: https://payhip.com/b/ZYD1O

Vietnamese Javan Rhino This one was very fun to do. I had a very low-quality photograph as a reference and I had to invent all the textures and wrinkles and also the color. Very challenging but I'm happy with the result.

There was a very small population of fewer than 12 individuals living in Cat Tien National Park in Vietnam. The last Vietnamese Javan Rhino (a subspecies of the Javan Rhinoceros) was shooted by poachers in 2011 in Vietnam. This animal used to live around very poor populations of villagers that were very hard to convince not to kill them, knowing that its parts could be sold for good money. Let's don't forget that those who decimates the population was mostly European trophy hunters at the beginning of the 20th century.

Red River Hog

I always wanted to see one of this ones. I thought it was like an experiment: A vibrant orange pig with ears like elf and beard. I saw one for the first time in a zoo in Valencia, Spain a few years back.

The species is common, and there are no major threats. The main threat will be the growing pressure from hunting for commercial bushmeat trade. It is one of the most hunted species in the Congo Basin and it makes up 40% of the bushmeat sold on markets in Gabon. 

Experiments of raising in captivity have shown its susceptibility to stress during capture, low rate of survival of young (11–57%), but rapid adaptation to confined environment and human company.

An illustrated poster with all the rhinos of the world. Is the most complete compilation because includes all the subspecies, even the ones that are extinct.

It took time to search, compile and corroborate information. Some of the extinct subspecies' quality photographs weren't good and some others didn't even have, so I had to base them on written descriptions.

Moreover, illustrating a rhino is not easy. Is a meticulous job. A rhino has a lot of textures that take time to do if you want to make it believable (an average of 10 hours per rhino). it drained me and I found myself exhausted at the end. But worthed it. I love animals, I love rhinos and I love to study them and share what I learned.

Mongolian Wild Ass Equus hemionus hemionus Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 04 Status and Conservation: Near ThreatenedHad fun doing this one. I actually love to do horses or relatives. Somehow the skin came up smoothly and I love the colors of them and how they came up in the drawing. Enjoyed from beginning to end. ____________________________

See you next week. If you like the content, leave me some love. Reblogs are also appreciated. This blog is becoming the most complete source of mammals. Little by little. Adios!

Whales are divided into three families. This is the second and biggest: the Balaenopteridae, which contains the biggest animal that ever inhabits the earth. However, we will start with its smallest member but also the fastest: the Mink Whale. This is the most common whale and is probably due to its not being commonly hunted by humans. Its size is too small (about 10m) and does not have enough oil yield, so hunting it is not worth it. Nonetheless, the hunting of this whale has increased.

Its name is confusing because it was first confused and classified wrongly. Its name is derived from the Norwegians who usually refer to any type of small whale as Minkie or Minkies' hval.

The Dwarf Mink Whale was described as a new subspecies not long ago and it is not sure yet if is one. Still has not scientific name. Mink Whale in captivity.

Mink whale has been tried to keep in captivity in Mito Aquarium, in Japan a few times. Most of the specimens died in few weeks while in 1956, the last one was able to scape a net aquarium after 37 days spinning the pool in the same direction.

____ I'm really ignorant of whales and most of this information is new to me. It is very hard to understand the information and translated it into something that I am able to explain. I hope is understood. ____ Thanks for your support. Likes, reblogging, or follows are very much appreciated.

Fin Whale

Formerly known Know as the Finback whale, Common rorqual, Herring whale, or Razorback whale, the Fin whale is the second largest whale on the planet. Its glamorous and slender shape make it one of the fastest rorquals despite its size. It was heavily hunting during the whaling times in the XX century but was able to recover and their numbers are somehow stable. Over 725,000 fin whales were reportedly taken from the Southern Hemisphere between 1905 and 1976. For this reason, the Southern Fin Whale is closer to extinction than the Northern Fin Whale. The North Pacific population is believed to be a third subspecies according to experts, however, more studies need to be done to validate this information. The Fin Whale is more related to the Humpback Whale and the Grey Whale. It is strange because these two rorquals belong to a different genus each.
