As always, I really enjoy working on cetaceans. They are really grateful. I spent no more than three hours and I am happy with the result. Today, the most common dolphin on earth. Short-Beaked Common Dolphin
Formerly considered a subspecies of the Common Dolphin, the short-beaked common dolphin has since been recognized as a distinct species with no subspecies identified thus far. Although they can be difficult to differentiate from their long-beaked counterparts, the short-beaked common dolphin can be identified by its notably smaller beak.
This species is widely distributed throughout all the world's oceans, with a global population estimated to be around two million individuals. Despite their abundance, they face numerous threats such as entanglement in fishing gear, pollution, and habitat loss. Therefore, conservation efforts are necessary to protect these remarkable creatures and ensure their long-term survival. ___________________________________ Credits: Whales, Dolphins and Seals: A field guide to the marine mammals of the world / Brett Jarret & Hadoram Shirihai NOAA Fisheries ___________________________________ Thank you guys for your likes and support.

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

Amur leopard This leopard inhabits cold environments, which necessitates denser and thicker fur, making it, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all eight subspecies of leopards. It is classified as critically endangered, and its population is estimated to be just over 100 individuals. The Amur leopard resides in Russia and China, while sadly believed to be extinct in Korea. ______________________________________ Photo Reference: Paul Bugbee Check out my Store here ______________________________________ Thank you, guys, for your support. I hope this animal likes you all. Next week another member of the cetacea order. A weird one that somehow is very well known by many. Love in the form of likes, reblogs, follows or the three is pretty much appreciated. Have a beautiful rest of the week.
Sumatran Elephant Elephas maximus maximus Family: Elephantidae Genus: Elephas Conservation Status: Critically Endangered
Working on this one was a real challenge. The lighting of the photo was difficult to figure out, and the shapes on the head were at an angle that I wasn't familiar with. Anyway, the outcome got me satisfied. I had no idea about this subspecies until I got to study elephants. Very interesting subspecies. Join the club to know more about this and more animals. Also, you can get access to the book in the making and the Esticker album. Click here ____________________________________________ Thank you guys for your support.

A poster with all the Tayassuidae species and subspecies along with the conservation status of each of them.
Follow my blog of all the Species I am moving to Instagram eventually: Species of the World
I am selling the poster of the Tapirus (Tapir) family along with the Rhinotermitidae (Rhinoceros). Soon I will put this poster on sale but I want to make some posters for some of the genus of this family.

I think we take giraffes for granted. Studying its evolution must be really fascinating. How an animal evolved its neck in such a long size in order to reach food that no other could? And, Why is not strange to us an animal with such particular features? Still is great that an animal had developed weird characteristics to survive but I see some holes in its path of evolution. That will be when they have to go to the ground. I don't think there is any other animal in nature that have to put itself in such a very uncomfortable position in order to do something that is so vital and "simple" as drinking water. I would love to live millions of years more to see where the evolution of the giraffe will go. I would love even more that the giraffes last enough to keep evolving. Thornicroft's Giraffe It is also called the Rhodesian Giraffe. It is commonly seen as a subspecies of the Masai Giraffe but some scientists believe is a single species. This subspecies has a particularly long neck and is among the largest of all subspecies of Giraffes. It has been seen that the coat of giraffes darkens when they grow up which could be a way to know the age of an animal. However, further studies need to be conducted.
Is a giraffe exclusive to Zambia and its numbers are no longer than 550 individuals. No populations are kept in captivity and tourism has been a way to protect them since they are a very popular sight in Africa. 20% off in my store starting tomorrow and running the whole next week.

Hello! I'm so proud to finally present you the artwork with all the Perissodactyla order including its subspecies (Rhinos, Tapirs, and Horses). Took me more than a year to finish but I am really happy with the result. The artwork includes the common name, its Latin name, and its conservation status. 46 animals in total of which 10 are sadly already extinct.

Southern Black Rhinoceros It's a subspecies of the Black Rhino that is extinct by 1850. This was due to excessive hunting. Inhabited the south of Africa and according to some skulls and some other remains of the animal, this subspecies is supposed to be the largest.
Incredibly, there was not a single photograph of the animal. Some scientists believed that this subspecies is not extinct and is considered a population that exists in the North of Namibia. New design. What do you think?

Working on this one was a real challenge. There are just a few blurry photographs of this animal before its extinction in the 50s, so I had to recreate its features based on written descriptions and the Sumatran Tiger photographs which are its closest relative. I believe I did a great job and I can proudly say this is one of the best illustrations of the Bali Tiger you can find.
Bali Tiger This animal owes its extinction exclusively to humans. It was exterminated in order to make the land habitable for humans in the 1940s. Finally in the 1950s was declared extinct. This tiger form belongs to the second subspecies of tiger (sondaica, the one that lives in islands), along with the Javan Tiger which is also extinct, and the Sumatran Tiger, the only survivor. There is some hope that this animal might still survive in Bali because there are a lot of unexplored lands that haven't been studied. However, is already 70 years since its last sight. It is upsetting that an animal was brought to extinction on purpose. And a loved one. What concerns me the most is that if this can happen to an animal that we all love and care about, imagine those that we don't know or we don't care much about.
I care about animals and I want to do something to protect them. And I think of this project as a way to help. If we know the animals we share the world with more, we are more likely to feel about them and protect them. You can help too by sharing this project.

Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies. Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference. I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration.
