This Week In The Club We Will Be Talking About The Sri Lankan Leopard, One Of The Leopard Subspecies.

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 ___________________________________

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.

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.

Burchell's Zebra Equus quagga burchellii Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 07 Feed: Herbivore Habitat: Dry Steppe Status and Conservation: Least Concern ______________________________________________ Despite enjoying working on equines I cannot wait to finish them. Just 5 more to go but it seems eternal. Still, I love the result, and is a very interesting family that I cannot wait to study. Join the club to see more about this project. All the Mammals of the World including subspecies. Here

A poster with all the Suidae family, a big one. All the species and subspecies and the conservation status of each of them.


Follow my blog about Species, here. I am moving to Instagram eventually: Species of the World


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.

My new art print with all the Panthera genera species and subspecies is available in my store. The artwork has the conservation status of each subspecies, the Latin name, and distribution. All in my store with up to 35% off discount! It is for a limited time. Click here ____________________________

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!

My new art print of leopards including the subspecies is available in my store. It is updated with the latest information of the Cat Specialist Group which reduced the number of subspecies from 9 to 8, including the North Chinese Leopard subspecies as the Amur leopard.

You can find it HERE

I'm having 20% off in all my store if you are interested in acquired any other of my art prints. Cheers!

Mexican Pronghorn

The number of these animals has been reduced by %99. It has been tried to be reintroduced in Coahuila, Mexico in 1995 and 1998 but the results haven't been promising.

Low nutrients plants, lack of water that many times compete with cattle, and the number of predators haven't created the best environment for the Pronghorn to flourish. These elements have resulted in the distress of the animals that aren't able to reproduce normally.

Sei Whale

Is the third-largest rorqual before the Fin whale and the Blue whale. Heavily hunted in the XIX and XX century its numbers dropped from 250.000 to 80.000 which in other words mean less than a third of the pre whaling population. Today luckily is protected.

Mass deaths events have been recorded numerous times and the reason why isn't clear but it appears to be endemic poisoning called red tide. It is a phenomenon of decoloration of the sea surface that occurs by an overpopulation of certain microorganisms, apparently caused by the unprecedented warming of the Pacific Ocean. The biggest mass death event documented happened in Chile in June 2015 where 337 death Sei Whales were counted.

Ignorance is bliss but is also fear.

Working on this project many times keeps me thinking about the impact we have over the life we share the world with. Humanity has been ignorant mostly of all of its existence, and whatever we used to fear, our answer, our instinct is to eliminate it. Now we think more before we act (some) and we discover that many times our fears are just funded. And we are learning to care about what we used to fear and to price what surrounds us, instead of thinking that they are there to serve us. Unfortunately, for some is just too late. South China Tiger

This population of tigers is believed extinct in the wild since not a sign of this animal has been reported since the late 1980s. There are programs trying to regrow the population in China and also in Africa. Its numbers are less than 200 and the reproduction programs have shown little success. The animals often present inbreeding depression and low genetic diversity. Before its extinction, the animal wasn't deeply studied in the wild so little is known about its natural behavior. It used to be listed as a subspecies but this recognition was based on the study of just five skulls. Now is counted as a population of the panthera tigris tigris. _____________________________________________ Credits: Felids and Hyenas of the World: Wildcats, Panthers, Lynx, Pumas, Ocelots, Caracals, and Relatives.  Dr. José R.
