Visayan Warty Pig

Visayan Warty Pig

Visayan Warty Pig

The Visayan Warty Pig has two subspecies that were recognized as such until 2000. Unfortunately, we have lost one of the subspecies, the Cebu Wart Pig and the other, the Negros Warty Pig is critically endangered.

Its biggest threat is habitat loss causing by commercial logging and farming. It is extinct in 98% of its native range. 

Other studies indicated that there might be other subspecies of this Pig inhabiting the island of Panay in the Philippines.

Pygmy Right Whale

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.

Plain Zebras Plain Zebras Are Composed By Seven Subspecies. It Is A Very Iconic Animal, Recognizable
Plain Zebras Plain Zebras Are Composed By Seven Subspecies. It Is A Very Iconic Animal, Recognizable

Plain Zebras Plain zebras are composed by seven subspecies. It is a very iconic animal, recognizable by all and many times take it as granted, therefore we think, no action had to be taken. While some of the subspecies are not facing any significant risk of extinction, some others are, or sadly disappear already. Let’s see some of this equines in detail. Burchell’s Zebra Believed extinct at some point in history, it was later proved that the subspecies status is actually stable. It is now a very common subspecies that is legally farmed for human consumption. Very common to see in zoos and even a small population of 70 to 100 specimens survive in a ranch in California.

Quagga It is the only subspecies of zebra that is extinct. By the end of the 1800′s the animal was very popular in the zoo’s of Europe and by 1883 the last specimen died in a Zoo in Amsterdam. Zoos requested more animals, discovering that they were impossible to find, finally declaring the animal extinct by 1900. It was regarded as a common animal and so close to humans that domestication was believed possible. When extinction came, humans didn’t realize and it was far to late to do something. Spotted Zebras? Black Zebras? White Zebras? Indeed. Zebra’s patterns are unique in each individuals and sometimes some of them present really amazing and rare patterns. Probably one of the most famous nowadays are the baby zebra that was spotted recently with a very particular kind of stripes. Although incredible, this kind of pattern do not represent any other new subspecies. Have a look on the link below and be amazed again by nature. Strange Zebra Patterns If you like this content it will help me a lot if you follow my Tumblr or if you share it. Also, every comment is very welcome. I am not an expert in the topic so if you have something to add, or something you thinks is incorrect, I will be more than happy to discuss it with you. Thank you! Posters in my store: Here

This One Took Me Forever! But I Was Really Into It. I Actually Animated The Illustration Once I Finished.

This one took me forever! But I was really into it. I actually animated the illustration once I finished. Check it out and also part of the process and some close-ups of the drawing on my Instagram account.

Masai Giraffe

This one is the largest giraffe of all. 5.5 meters high! This subspecies of giraffe are the tallest animal on earth. That is incredible. They can weigh up to 1.3 Tons and one-third of that weight is in their neck.

Another interesting thing is their tongue which can be 50 cm long. It is prehensile and allows them to grab leaves graciously.

Its numbers have reduced by 50% in the last few decades. Although there are more than 22.000 in the wild, it is alarming that the numbers have plumbed so fast. There have been sights of albino giraffes (white) and also very dark ones (which are really beautiful).

Working On This One Was A Real Challenge. There Are Just A Few Blurry Photographs Of This Animal Before

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.

As Always, I Really Enjoy Working On Cetaceans. They Are Really Grateful. I Spent No More Than Three

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.

 For Those Who Are Been Following Me For A While, This Post Might Be A Little Strange Because The Rhinocerontidae

For those who are been following me for a while, this post might be a little strange because the rhinocerontidae family was previously posted. However, I think this project has evolved so much that it was worth it to re-visit those old posts and update them.

Southern White Rhinoceros

This is the most common rhinoceros of all the family and the less endangered. However, this doesn't mean is in danger of disappearing.

The rhino horn is more expensive than gold making the rhino a very tempting target. On the other hand, in the countries where it can be found, many people struggle with poverty, forcing them to risk their lives trying to hunt them because rhinos are heavily protected.

Who is to blame? The people who hunt them? Definitely No. They are just a tool who is forced to hunt because they need the money to sustain their families, they have little choice. Besides, their revenue is very small. To blame someone will be the final client. The one that is eager to pay a lot for the horn. If there is no demand, there is no business. Anyway, is a tricky subject with many points of view. What do you think? _________________________________________________________

Thank you so much guys for your interest Check out my Instagram Or my store. Cheers!!

Hiiii

Your artwork is amazing! Legit can't tell they're no photographs!

Have you ever drawn animals that are definitely extinct but only have limited photographs, if any?

Like the dodo! But I see taxidermied photos of it so I guess that's fine.

And the thylacine!

It'd be so cool to create something that's almost a photograph of an animal that never had photographs taken of it 🤩

Hello! Thank you! I have done some. In some, the photo references I have are really bad and in a few others, they are just mere written descriptions. I had to figure out a way to do them and make them look believable (The Northern Sumatran Rhino, The Indian Javan Rhinoceros, the Vietnamese Javan Rhinoceros, Quagga, and the Caspian Tiger) Some others arent' extinct but they don't have good photographs or they are not complete, they just show a part of the animal like the Indonesian Javan Rhinoceros, the Vietnam Mouse Deer, the Water Chevrotain, etc) I won't do the Dodo because I'm just working on mammals. The idea is to do them all so I don't think I'll have the time to do birds. I would love to do them too though. Thanks again for your interest. I really hope one day my posters can get into zoos, museums, and universities. Thanks as well for the link you sent me. Have a nice day!
