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!

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.

Western Black Rhinoceros

This subspecies of Black Rhinoceros was declared extinct in 2011. Surveys have been done since 2006 but have been fruitless. Poaching was the main cause of its extinction. Rhino sperm is conserved after the extinction of the animal and scientists have been trying to bring back to life this subspecies, using the wombs of Southern White Rhinoceros but all attempts have failed.

If this is an animal that we all love and we all have our eyes on, and still went extinct, just imagine those ones we might even don't know exist. This is one of the reasons why I decided to do this project. We cannot take care of the beings we don't know exists.

New family, Pigs!!

What a great way to start! The Red River Hog, a very popular animal in zoos. Have you seen it? It was challenging to find a nice reference but I'm very happy with the one I found.

I really enjoyed illustrating cetaceans. They are kind of easy to do, they don't take many hours (like just 2), and the results are stunning. In this case, I added the lights of the high contrast from the humidity of the skin of the animal and I think make the illustration look more realistic. On the other hand, these genera of dolphins are simply beautiful. I didn't know the existence of many of them and discovering them really surprise me.

Heaviside's Dolphin This dolphin can be found in the coastal waters of South Africa. As the other members of the genera are small size dolphins with the same colors as their relatives but with a specific pattern.

They are very energetic and can be seen closer to boats. They use echolocation (a way of hunting used primordially by bats) to hunt, which means they use sound to find their prey. Prey are mostly fishes and mollusks. They are not expert divers with dives commonly going down to 50 meters. However, some register dives were down to 147 meters. Dives length is no more than 2 minutes.

As for predators, the only known is the Orca. __________________________________________________ Credits: Heaviside's dolphin _________________________________________________ Store Instagram Thank you guys for your love and support.

Next family is a huge one. Actually the biggest. Any guess?

Instagram Poster

The Guanaco is a smaller member of the camelidae family also inhabits the andes in South America. 

The information found about this animal is a little bit confusing. While some pages put the animal in an endangered status, some others put it in a Least Concern status. However looking at the numbers of some of the subspecies, I came to the conclusion that it might be a endangered species.

Another issue was that some pages state that it is composed by four subspecies, some other just recognized two ( Guanaco and Guanaco Norteño) saying that the differences are not yet proved and the distribution is unclear.

This just proves how much is still to be done in the animal kingdom and how easy can become a topic of controversy among biologist. Time will give the reason to either of the two theories while some other questions surely arise. Fascinating!

Thanks again for the interest on my Tumblr. If you like the content please follow me. Every ten days a new animal explained and illustrated. Likes and reblog are also highly appreciated. To me is so interesting to study animals and share what I learn. I also think is important people get to know about them too, because we cannot protect what we don’t know exist.

More animals to come soon. South Central Balck Rhinoceros Among the contemporary rhino species, the Black Rhino is considered to be the best adapted to the new world. It stands out as one of the oldest, most stable, and most widely distributed among the modern rhinoceros species. Unfortunately, human actions have significantly threatened their previous success and led to a decline in their populations.
