The Williamson’s Mouse-Deer
This specimen was believed to be a subspecies of the Lesser Mouse Deer. However, in 2004 it was assigned to a species level. This level, however, is provisional because the study was based on just one specimen that was considerably bigger than the Lesser Mouse-Deer.
As we can see, is not a well-studied animal. It is believed to be found in Thailand, Laos, and possibly China.

African Bush Elephant Loxodonta africana Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 00
Feed: Herbivorous Habitat: Subtropical Dry Forest Status and Conservation: Endangered The largest elephant species, it stands as the tallest terrestrial animal on Earth, reaching heights of up to 3.96 meters. Highly social and exceptionally intelligent, elephants exhibit remarkable traits.
Given their impressive size and strong social bonds, elephants are effectively free from predators. Although young elephants may occasionally fall prey to lions or hyenas, their overall vulnerability is minimal.
Regrettably, the sole threat to their existence is us, humans. Throughout history, we have hunted elephants for sustenance and weaponry. In modern times, however, our pursuit of these magnificent creatures is driven primarily by a desire for ornamental purposes. _________________________________________ Thank you, guys, for being here.

As you might already know, I am working on illustrating all the world's mammals, including subspecies. I've created over 200 realistic illustrations and counting. I've been exploring ways to promote my work, and as you're aware, I've established a club for this purpose. Among the options, I conceived the idea of an EAlbum to collect digital stickers featuring animal illustrations.
I want to be honest with you—while the EAlbum isn't exactly as I envisioned, it reflects the extent of my programming knowledge. In the future, I hope to implement the complete dynamics of a sticker album, allowing people to swap, buy, and sell stickers. For now, subscribing club members will receive four stickers each month to add to the album.
The album provides key animal information such as family, genus, and conservation status. The inaugural album focuses on the Perissodactyla order (Rhinos, Tapirs, and Horses), but as the project progresses, more albums featuring various animal families will follow. Both the album and instructions will be available when you join the club.
Have a look at the club options here: Discovering Club Another way to support me is by liking, sharing, and/or following my social media, helping spread the message to a wider audience. Thank you and see you soon with more animal stuff. Quedamos Q.A.P
Snow Leopard Panthera uncia Family: Felidae Genus: Panthera Conservation Status: Vulnerable I really enjoyed drawing this animal and the outcome really surprised me. I think I learned how to draw felines. Is becoming easier, more enjoyable, and with better results. I feel this one looks like a photograph. I don't wanna sound arrogant but I'm just proud of my work. To see the whole illustration become a member of the club by clicking here. __________________________ Thank you.
I'm tired of drawing giraffes, but fortunately, I only have one more left to finish. After that, I'm excited to move on to drawing the Okapi, and once the family will be complete. Awesome!
Angolan Giraffe
The Angolan Giraffe, also known as the Namibian Giraffe, is native to southern Africa, specifically Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Angola. These giraffes have a unique coat pattern with irregular rusty brown patches on a whitish or light beige skin. Males have a distinctive bulk in the forefront.
There have been studies suggesting that the two surviving populations, one in the north and one in the south, may be different subspecies, but this conclusion has not yet been universally accepted within the scientific community. The distinction between giraffe species and subspecies as a whole is not yet fully clear. _______________________________________ Credits: Angolan Giraffe Photo Credits: Zdeněk Hašek ________________________________________ Thank you for your support.

I loved drawing this one. As someone commented on a dolphin I posted from the same family: Is like the pandas of the water. Again, what fascinates me the most about doing this animal encyclopedia is that I get to know mammals I didn't know existed and I can share that information with you all. Thank you for following and being interested. Let's see what can we learn from this wonderful dolphin.
Hector's Dolphin Hector's Dolphin lives exclusively on the coasts of New Zealand. They can live up to 22 years and are some of the smallest dolphins in the world. (If I'm not wrong the Vaquita is the smallest). Because of its size, predators can be numerous. Blue sharks, White sharks, Broadnose sevengill sharks, and probably Killer whales and Mako sharks. They hunt using echolocation which is basically finding prey using sound (Just as bats do). Their clicks (the sound they make) isn't as complex as other animals and travel short distances. Nonetheless is enough for them, since their environment is crowded and sound wouldn't be able to go long distances anyways. This animal is not in danger but its subspecies, the Māui Dolphin is probably one of the most endangered dolphins in the world, if not the most. We will talk about him in our next post. _____________________________________________ Credits: Hector's Dolphin Hector's Dolphin Ballenas, Delfines y Marsopas, Manuales de Identificación / Mark Carwardine, Martin Camm _____________________________________________ Thank you guys for your support!

Indian Spotted Chevrotain
Nocturnal as its relative, the Indian Spotted Chevrotain spends the days hidden in hollow trees or close to piles of leaves which serve him as camouflage due to its fur's color.
Is still common and its status is not to worry. However, it used to be seen in all Indian territory up to the South of Nepal. Nowadays, hasn't been seen in Nepal and if ever found, it is very likely is highly endangered.
The Spotted Chevrotain is a vital link in the food chain because many predators feed on him. Therefore, its protection is crucial to maintaining the equilibrium of nature.

The Bryde's Whale has been a kind of puzzle for scientists because three species use to fall into its category. This is called complex in taxonomy. In other words, three (or maybe four) species of whales were thought to be subspecies, (or just the same species) as the Bryde's whale.
I wonder why not just name all four species the same if they are so closely similar? The devil is in the details. Those little differences that make one species become different from others can be the starting point for a completely new animal in million years. On the other hand, those tiny changes also may be the ones that make the animal adapt better than its relatives and therefore survive the changes of the environment.
So if is similar in appearance, as it seems in the cetaceans, there are movements and changes that are only perceptible in millions of years of evolution.
Can I suppose that the Balaenopteridae family is a young one, therefore many of its members are closely similar? Could be...
