A Poster With All The Suidae Family, A Big One. All The Species And Subspecies And The Conservation Status

Forest hog

This is a special monster. The first time I saw this hog I was impressed by how ugly is and still how magnificent. 

Three subspecies are provisionally recognized: 

Congo Forest Hog:  Ranges from southeast Nigeria to Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo

Giant Forest Hog Occurs as scattered populations from the Albertine Rift Highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo to the eastern (Gregory) Rift Valley in Ethiopia and Kenya.

West African Forest Hog Can be found in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Nigeria

The Giant Hog that inhabit in Ethiopia could be another subspecies to classified. However further taxonomic studies are required.

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.

Babyrousa – deer-pigs

The last one of this big family, the weirdo of the weirdos and one of the most valuable for me, the Babirusa. Since I was a kid I was amazed by this strange animal that tusk can grow so curve that can break its skin and sometimes the skull. 

There are many subspecies still to confirm. So far, three are accepted.

Moluccan Babirusa: This species is poorly known because many of the studies done to this species, where actually done to another subspecies, the North Sulawesi Babirusa.

Togian babirusa: As usual the main threat of this species is the destruction of this habitat. It is also tracked if the animal eats the crops of the villagers. However, the animal is not eaten by the people because the population is mostly muslim therefore, refuse to eat pork.

North Sulawesi Babirusa: In 2006, a male North Sulawesi Babirusa and a female domestic pig were accidentally allowed to interbreed in the Copenhagen Zoo. The offspring were 5 hybrid piglets with teeth most resembling the North Sulawesi Babirusa, while their color was highly variable.

I’ve been having trouble with Tumblr. My post simply don’t appear in the search no matter how strange are my tags. Tumbler didn’t give me any solution so I decided to move to Instagram. I already open an account so if you want to follow me, just click on the link:  Species of the World I will keep posting here until I updated my instagram account. Thanks for the support.

Next, some nice posters of all the boar family and the peccary family.

The art print of the Giraffes is now available in my store. Click here.

I loved working and learning about this family, and I completely fell in love with the Okapi, which has become one of my new favorite animals. I must say that designing the art print was really challenging, but I am very happy with the result.

As you may know, all of the animals are carefully illustrated. The company I work with to print my work is located in the United States. Their quality is incredible. It is a gallery-quality giclée art print on 100% cotton rag archival paper, printed with archival inks."

I loved to do this one. I think the pose was amazing and challenging and shows the nature of this magnificent animal. Thanks so much to Zoran Milutinovic who allowed me to use one of his amazing photographs as a reference. Siberian Tiger / Amur Tiger The Siberian Tiger is my favorite. Lives in cold temperatures so its coat is denser and thicker, making it puffier. It is also one of the biggest, sharing the size with the Bengal Tiger. This combination makes, in my point of view, the most majestic and powerful tiger. Studies demonstrate that Siberian Tigers used to be bigger before the 70s. However, the reduction of its environment mixed with the lack of food that comes with it, obliged them to adapt, reducing its size. This is normal in nature. Animals have to adapt if they want to survive. The problem that I see here is that the time frame is very short (50 years) and I am not so sure if this animal or others will be able to keep the pace. Is facing many threats. poaching, diseases brought by domestic dogs such as canine distemper, habitat destruction, and genetic diversity. At some point, less than 50 tigers remained. Today, the number recovered to about 500 which is good but not enough. ________________________________________________ Credits: Felids and Hyenas of the World: Wildcats, Panthers, Lynx, Pumas, Ocelots, Caracals, and Relatives.  Dr. José R.

For the past two years, I've been illustrating every mammal on our planet. I've completed over 200 animals and now plan to create a book. In the book, I researched interesting facts about each animal, (Where they live, conservation status, evolutive paths, curiosities, etc). To fund this project, I've established a monthly club offering various ways for people to support my work. One option is receiving monthly book updates in PDF format. This month's feature, for example, is the White Rhinoceros, and the book uniquely covers its subspecies, setting it apart from others. There are more things than the book updates (There are actually a lot of things). If you feel that this speaks to you check out the club options by clicking here Giving a like and sharing this post is also very helpful. Thanks all for the attention and see you soon.

Western Sumatran Rhinoceros

The first time I knew about the existence of this animal, I was 9 years old. It wasn't a photograph but an illustration and I was completely astonished that an animal that resembles prehistoric times was still among us. I finally saw a photograph when I was about 15. There wasn't any internet at that time so access to things was entirely through books. One of my wishes in life is to see one of these ones in person but knowing its precarious situation, the hope to see one fades a little every day. The Western Sumatran Rhinoceros is the most numerous of all the three subspecies with no more than 80 individuals. This subspecies was the last one to inhabit a zoo. The Cincinnati Zoo. The animal left the zoo in 2015 to return to Indonesia in order to start a reproduction program that has brought some success but nothing significant.

However, one female calf was born this year (2022), which brings some hope to the preservation of the species. ___________________________________________ References: Sumatran_rhinoceros Photo Credit: David Ellis.

Long-finned Pilot Whale Globicephala melas melas Family: Delphinidae Genus: Globicephala Conservation Status: Least Concern This whale is not a whale but a large dolphin. Despite the minimal differences between the Short-finned Pilot Whale and this species, they are indeed two distinct species. If that is not perplexing enough, this dolphin also possesses one subspecies—actually two, although one became extinct long ago along the coasts of Japan. In fact, scientists aren't sure that was a subspecies but almost sure. Let's say %93,2 sure. You see, science is consistently regarded as an exact discipline. Consider joining the club here.
