Let Me Introduce You To One Of The Strongest Family, The Camelidus.  I Still Remember Vividly The First

Let me introduce you to one of the strongest family, the Camelidus.  I still remember vividly the first time I saw a camel in my life. I was no more than ten years old and I couldn’t believe my eyes how massive this animals are. Somehow I got amazed. How awkward it feels by its long extremities that seem they don’t have full control. Or the unmanageable long neck that is crowned for a head that I’m sure was the idea for many monsters of Star Wars. At first glance, it look like if many mistakes came together to create this animal. 

However, how wrong I was. If there is an animal that defy nature in its extremes conditions, it will be the camel and its relatives. They can live literally everywhere. From the coldest to the hottest, and can flourish even when abundance is limited. Excellent distance devourers and the best administrating water. Their sight is exceptional and can run at a formidable speed. Their bodies are made to take the best from the worst the environment can provide. 

If the horse was crucial in human evolution, the taming of the camel I’d like to think was rather smart. A living tank where locomotive transportation wasn’t even a coarse sketch, that provides more than the indispensable to survive in the worst conditions. ___

Wild Bactrian Camels where thought to be just feral Camels that escaped to the wild. However, further genetic studies proved that is a different species that diverged from the Bactrian Camel more than a million years ago. 

It is critically endangered and is recognized as the eighth most endangered large mammal in the world, remaining no more than 1400 specimens in the wild. Illegal hunting, habitat destruction, hybridization with domestic camels, and the competence for resources with domestic stock are some of the main threats for this animal.

Antilocapridae Family, Species & Subspecies. A Unique Species Of This Family With Five Subspecies. As

Antilocapridae Family, Species & Subspecies. A unique species of this family with five subspecies. As I mentioned in other posts, some people believe subspecies aren't important, but I think they are crucial to the evolution of the species and the beginning of a new potential family in the future.

Changes are always subtle, and they can only be seen through time. With nature, changes can take millions of years. An elephant wasn't an elephant millions of years ago. It was another animal that eventually became what we see today. Everything moves, everything must evolve, because the earth is always changing, and those who cannot adapt to those changes are destined to perish.

If this is your favorite animal (which I think qualifies to be a favorite animal. Fastest in America, unique, particular, etc.) this is a poster you should have. All five subspecies (See detail of the illustration below) with their conservation status and family lineage. Just click here.

I Think We Take Giraffes For Granted. Studying Its Evolution Must Be Really Fascinating. How An Animal

I think we take giraffes for granted. Studying its evolution must be really fascinating. How an animal evolved its neck in such a long size in order to reach food that no other could? And, Why is not strange to us an animal with such particular features? Still is great that an animal had developed weird characteristics to survive but I see some holes in its path of evolution. That will be when they have to go to the ground. I don't think there is any other animal in nature that have to put itself in such a very uncomfortable position in order to do something that is so vital and "simple" as drinking water. I would love to live millions of years more to see where the evolution of the giraffe will go. I would love even more that the giraffes last enough to keep evolving. Thornicroft's Giraffe It is also called the Rhodesian Giraffe. It is commonly seen as a subspecies of the Masai Giraffe but some scientists believe is a single species. This subspecies has a particularly long neck and is among the largest of all subspecies of Giraffes. It has been seen that the coat of giraffes darkens when they grow up which could be a way to know the age of an animal. However, further studies need to be conducted.

Is a giraffe exclusive to Zambia and its numbers are no longer than 550 individuals. No populations are kept in captivity and tourism has been a way to protect them since they are a very popular sight in Africa. 20% off in my store starting tomorrow and running the whole next week. Check it out here ________________________________________________ Credits: Rhodesian Giraffe Photo Credits: Harvey Sapir ________________________________________________ Thank you guy for all the love and support.

I Really Enjoyed Illustrating Cetaceans. They Are Kind Of Easy To Do, They Don't Take Many Hours (like

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.

Perfect Balance Between Chaos I Before Start Working On My Great Grand Father’s Book I Did A Series

Perfect Balance Between Chaos I Before start working on my Great Grand Father’s book I did a series of drawings mixing different animals in an intrinsic way. I started drawing a part of a bird and then I switch to another bird. The composition was done accordingly I was adding birds. I called “The Perfect Balance in Chaos” and depicts the way the nature moves violently but always keeping the perfect balance (That is why I did it in a square shape canvas”.

Working On This One Was Simply Amazing. I Was Able To Catch The Lighting And The Shadows To Make It As

Working on this one was simply amazing. I was able to catch the lighting and the shadows to make it as real as possible. Colombian Tapir

The Colombian Tapir is a subspecies of the Lowland Tapir and lives exclusively in Colombia. Colombia has three of the four subspecies of Lowland Tapir and this subspecies inhabits the lowlands of the North of the country. 

The species is ranked as Vulnerable but this subspecies is classified as Critically Endangered in Colombia. Extinct already in many areas where it used to be seen due mostly to fragmentation of its environment, some recent studies showed the reappearance of the subspecies in areas where hasn't been seen for decades. Some think that the animal was never gone. The land where the animal lived is mostly unpopulated and keep an eye. Either the harsh environment or the internal struggle of the country, somehow keep human populations away from the forest and make the study of this subspecies, or any other, difficult.  __________________________________________
