The Last Member Of The Giraffe Family And To My Eyes The Most Beautiful! I Must Say That When I Saw It

New sticker album drop! 🦏🐎🦓

I’ve just released a project that’s close to my heart—a sticker album featuring all known species and subspecies of the Perissodactyl order: rhinos, tapirs, horses, zebras. Every animal is illustrated and comes with fascinating facts about their habitat, conservation status, and more.

It’s fun, educational, and made to spark curiosity about our world—because we need more things like that out there.

Thank you for supporting meaningful, handmade projects like this one 💛

Drawing giraffes is fun and somehow easier than others animals. Because they are so long, the amount of details somehow reduces considerably, and still, the animal will look great. Differentiating this one is probably the hardest so far. I felt that the spots and color of the giraffe aren’t so characteristic as other ones like the Niger or Reticulated Giraffe. On the other hand, the close relationship that has with the Rothschild’s Giraffe (you will see in the next giraffe post) make things a little harder.  Nubian Giraffe  According to what I read, this is the nominate subspecies which in other words means that was the first subspecies to be described. Therefore, its Latin name is repeated twice (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis). This giraffe is Critically Endangered. It is believed that there are less than 2150 in the wild. However, about 1500 are from Rothschild’s Giraffe, leaving the Nubian Giraffe with less than 650 individuals. It is extinct in the wild in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, and Eritrea. In captivity, is bred at Gia Zoo in Egypt and the Al Ain Zoo in the United Arab Emirates. ___________________________________ Credits: Nubian Giraffe Nubian Giraffe ___________________________________

I am selling the poster of the Tapirus family along with the Rhinotermitidae. Soon I will put this poster on sale but I want to make some posters for some of the genus of this family.

I usually don't post on Sundays but this week was crazy. I moved from my home country, Colombia to live in Canada for good last Thursday. I'm a little tired because of the move and I didn't have much time to think of anything else but packing. But here we are trying to post one animal every week. Today, one that was completely unknown to me and apparently to science too because not much is known about it. The Chilean Dolphin.

Chilean Dolphin This dolphin was previously named the black dolphin. It was named this way because of some dead specimens and some saw at the distance. When they studied live animals and got closer to them, they realized the color wasn't that dark so they changed the name to Chilean dolphin. This dolphin doesn't swim close to the boats. This is because they were hunted with harpoons up to the 80s. It is believed that the animal developed a fear of boats. (We can see why. What is strange is why the other species of dolphins haven't). By those times, hunts of this animal rise to 1500 per year. Today its status is Nearly Threatened. Store Instagram _________________________________________________

Wild Boar / Sus scrofa The most subspecies with a total of 16. Different authors recognize up to 32 subspecies. Colin Groves undertook probably the most comprehensive review when proposing the recognition of at least 16 morphologically distinct subspecies. However, his work has been challenged by Peter Genov who proposed recognition of only 4 subspecies. We are going to follow Colin Groves studies and we portrayed 16 subspecies. today the first four. Central European boar This boar was held in a high esteem by the Celtic culture and it was often seen engraved in helmets, shields and swords. It was considered a sacred animal.

Carpathian boar One of the biggest if not the biggest subspecies with males recorder to weigh more than 300 kg. Such size make immune to wolves. Nowadays is rare to see an animal that size, due to past overhunting which prevent animals from attaining their full growth.

Mediterranean boar, Sardinian wild boar The Sardinian wild boar shows a significant closer relationship with the domestic pig. This suggests that this subspecies was originated in the Neolithic  from populations of domesticated domestic pigs. 

Anatolian Boar Very common board in the Judean and Jerusalem area. In Haifa, they can be spot roaming the streets of the city, specially in darkness where they destroy big can trash in the searching of food. They can be dangerous at night to car drivers. Maremman boar   It is assumed extinct due to the introduction of another subspecies in the area. Because of the crossing of subspecies, the subgenus in question lost its unique gene pool.

South-Central Black Rhinoceros(Diceros bicornis minor)

Also called south-central hook-lipped rhinoceros. The most common subspecies Black Rhinoceros. However, it is also critically endangered.

East African Hippopotamus

I appreciate this illustration because it was the second one I did in a hyperrealistic way a few years back. It was essential because it set the tone of the illustrations I wanted to make for this project. I am happy to revisit and work on the information sheet about this charismatic subspecies.

If you want to know about this subspecies and many more, you can join the club. Here

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.
