Bushpig 

My art print, showcasing all big cat species (Panthera, Neofelis, Puma, and Acinonyx), is now available in my store. This includes the two Clouded Leopard species (Mainland and Sunda), which were recognized as distinct species in 2006.

Oliver's warty pig / Mindoro warty pig

Listed as Endangered because its extent of occurrence is less than 5,000 km² being its area of occupancy less than 500 km². Even though accurate records are lacking, the distribution range of this pig is severely fragmented. There is also a continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat, and in the number of mature individuals caused by over-hunting. Hybridization with free-ranging domestic pigs introduced and maintained by hinterland communities is an additional and likely serious additional threat.

The last member of the Giraffe family and to my eyes the most beautiful! I must say that when I saw it at the zoo the first time, it didn't strike me as much as now when I draw it. Is clearly the head of a giraffe in the body of a prehistoric animal adorned with the stripes of a zebra running down its legs. If you think of it, is like coming from a fantasy book. Okapi It is a living fossil and contrary to its closest relative, the giraffe, which is mostly found in the savannas, the okapis live in the dense forests of the Congo. It is very elusive and timid making it a really hard specimen to study in the wild. Therefore little is known about it. The poster of the Giraffidae family is coming soon! ___________________________________ Photo Credits: Magda Ehlers ___________________________________

Pygmy Right Whale

I had no idea this one exists. How awesome can be a small version of a right whale? Here it is, the Pygmy Right Whale.

Not much is known about this animal since is one of the whales that has been studied the less. Often confused at sight with the Minke Whale, observation of the Pygmy Right Whale is rather scarce. Lives in the Southern Hemisphere in waters of temperatures that range from 5 to 20 °C.

Giant Peccary

is a possible fourth species of peccary, discovered in Brazil in 2003. It was formally described in 2007, but the evidence of its status is been questioned for that reason its evaluation in 2008 was resulted in Data Deficient. In 2011 this species was moved to the Collared Peccary but still some believe it might be another species and further studies have to be done to prove it.

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

Northern White Rhinoceros

Poachers reduced their population from 500 to 15 in the 1970s and 1980s. From the early 1990s through mid-2003, the population recovered to more than 32 animals. However, since mid-2003, poaching has intensified and further reduced the wild population

Since 19 March 2018, there are only two Northern White rhinos left, the females Najin and Fatu, mother and daughter, making these subspecies functionally extinct. The two females belong to the Dvůr Králové Zoo in the Czech Republic but live in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya and are protected 24/7 by armed guards.

The last male, Sudan died due to an infection in his right hind leg. He was euthanized on 19 March 2018.

Recent studies suggest that it might be a separate species from the Southern White Rhino. Studies haven’t concluded.  *References: phys.org/news/2019-08-scientists-closer-northern-white-rhino.html https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Northern_white_rhinoceros

Pygmy Killer Whale This one is interesting. It is not related to the Killer Whale and is not a whale but a dolphin. The only thing that is accurate about its name is that it is not very large. Perhaps it should be called just the "Pygmy". However, it is very similar to another dolphin called the Melon-headed whale (we will learn about that one soon).

Not much is known about this 'whale' (I'm not sure if I should call it a whale). It is not typically aggressive in the wild, although there have been reports of aggressive behavior in captivity. Maybe is trying to tell us something.

Risso's Dolphin Grampu griseus Family: Delphinidae Genus: Grampus Status and Conservation: Least Concern Working on this one was very relaxing. Dolphins take me not so much time and still, the result is nice, So I usually work two every week I'm working on this family. Still amazed at how little I know about this bug family and how interesting its members are. If you want to know more about them, you can join my club here ____________________________ That will be it for this week. If you like the content, leave me some love. Reblogs are also loved. This blog is becoming the most complete source of mammals. Adios!

Atlantic White-Sided Dolphin. (Lagenorhynchus acutus) Least Concern. As always, I have enjoyed working with this family. Working with cetaceans is always enjoyable. The most amusing aspect is getting to know them. I must confess that my knowledge about cetaceans was quite limited, extending only to the commonly known dolphins and whales. However, compiling this information has opened my eyes, allowing me to marvel at the hidden wonders of the sea and emphasizing the importance of protecting it. _____________________ Thank you all for your support.

I post more animals there than the ones I post here, showing the full-body illustration of each animal, explaining the infographic and the illustration process, and how the family is being completed, apart from many other nice stuff.
