A Poster With All The Babyrousa Subspecies And The Conservation Status Of Each Of Them.

African Forest Elephant Loxodonta cyclotis Family: Elephantidae Genus: Loxodonta Subspecies: 00 Feed: Herbivorous Habitat: Monsoon Forest Status and Conservation: Endangered This unique elephant species is the smallest of the three (2.4 meters), it boasts a disproportionately impressive tusk. Adapted for forest life, it has a compact frame, less curved tusks for easy navigation, and probably the most captivating feature is its distinct yellow eyes common in many of these animals.

However, their valuable tusks make them targets for ivory poaching. This endangered species is challenging to study due to its remote habitat. Full body illustration and extended explanation join here: Discovering Club

Southern White Rhinoceros

The name of the White Rhinoceros is attributed to a translation error. In Dutch, "white" is pronounced as "widj," which actually means "wide," referring to the rhino's mouth width. A more precise, albeit unused, name for this species is the square-lipped rhinoceros. The White Rhinoceros is a genus comprising two subspecies. This is one of them. Wallpaper is available here.

🌿 Who is the Central American Tigrina? This tiny wild cat (Leopardus tigrinus centralis) might be a subspecies… or a full species of its own. Some studies even link it closer to ocelots than to its supposed cousins. Mysterious, elusive, and stunningly spotted, it prowls the forests of Central America — quietly vanishing before we’ve even figured out exactly who it is. 🐾✨

A new addition to the club is the newly recognized species, the Australian Snubfin Dolphin. Check out the infographic on my Instagram here:

Mammals of the World is back! We are very excited to start the year with new amazing animals to learn about. We'll try to post more often (it used to be every ten days, we are going to try every week) so we can enjoy more animals and know more about them. From the giants of the world, let us introduce you to some of the smallest: The mouse deer family, the smallest hoofed animals in the world.

Water Chevrotain

This is the only member of this family that is not found in Asia and is the biggest of all with just 35cms high. They have a good sense of smell that they use to find their favorite food: Fruits. Although this species is the only one known for also eating insects, crabs, and even scavenged meat and fish.

They are exclusively nocturnal and they are also known for being excellent swimmers and for producing distinctive noises depending on the situation they are in.

It's commonly hunted by humans and is known as the infamous bush meat. However, its numbers are somewhat stable. It hasn't been studied profoundly and not much is known about its behavior. ___________________ Thank you again for your support and we wish you a great new year!

Turkmenian Kulan Ever heard of a wild ass that outruns jeeps and survives in places where even camels complain? Meet the Turkmenian kulan, a desert daredevil with a name that sounds like a punchline but belongs to one of Central Asia’s toughest mammals. With serious speed, serious stamina, and zero interest in being tamed, this wild ass is a master of dry-land survival—and yes, "kulan" really does mean wild ass in Turkic.

Somali Wild Ass Equus africanus somaliensis Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Conservation Status: Critically Endangered

There are fewer than 1,000 African Wild Asses left in the wild, and they are classified as Critically Endangered. This might be surprising, considering that Donkeys are commonly seen animals. However, there are several reasons why these animals are on the brink of extinction, and some subspecies have already disappeared. ____________________________ Thank you guys for your attention.

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 ___________________________________

Kerguelen Islands Commerson’s Dolphin

This subspecies was discovered in the 1950s. They own its name because they live close to the Kerguelen Islands south of the Indian Ocean. Actually, I just found the scientific name so I am not sure if that is the name of the animal. From what I read, they live close to the coast and prefer shallow waters. There are substantial physical differences between the two. This subspecies is larger but also its color patterns are different. The dark areas aren’t black but gray and the white area is more like light gray. Also, the demarcation between areas is more diffuse. In 2004 a vagrant individual (which is the name for an animal that is found out of its normal range) was found on the coasts of South Africa but no other sight has been notified.
