Atlas Wild Ass Equus africanus atlanticus Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Status and Conservation: Extinct

I find it astonishing that an animal I once considered common has become extinct. Donkeys are typically perceived as ubiquitous due to their widespread presence, but in reality, some species and subspecies within this group are now critically endangered or have already disappeared...

See you next week. If you like the content, leave me some love. Reblogs are also loved. This blog is becoming the most complete source of mammals. Chao!

Love this one! More from the Felidae family. The turn now is for the biggest in America. Jaguar At first glance, Jaguars and Leopards are not so easy to differentiate. They are like two brothers. One's appearance, the leopard, looks more graceful and stylized. While the Jaguar has a more bulky body and its legs are shorter. One is agile while the other one is made to wrestle. However, the biggest difference is that the leopard lives in Africa, Asia, and Oceania, while the Jaguar is found in America. So if you are in Kenya, be 100% sure you are seeing a leopard. _________________________________________ Photo Reference Credits: Gary Morris __________________________________________ Thank you guys for your support. Love in the way of likes reblogs and follows is very much appreciated. If is more than love, you can tip me too :). One animal or more every week. Would love to do more than one but the illustrating part takes a lot of time X(.

You’re an artist ?

Yeah!

Przewalski's Horse Equus ferus przewalskii Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 03 Feed: Herbivorous Habitat: Temperate Steppe Status and Conservation: Critically Endangered This is the only remaining species of wild horse. The other two wild horse species have already become extinct. One of them is the Tarpan (which was mentioned in a previous post), and the other is the European Wild Horse, which went extinct during the Pleistocene era. The other horses that roam in the wild are considered feral, which means they were once domesticated horses that have reverted to a wild state.

The Przewalski Horse was also extinct in the wild at one point. However, thanks to various breeding programs and the efforts of different zoos, it has been successfully reintroduced to its natural habitat in Mongolia and China. It is still classified as Critically Endangered." ________________________________ Credits: Handbook of The Mammals of the World. Hoofed Animals. ________________________________

Thank you for being here. Likes, reblogs, and follows are very much appreciated. See you next week with more mammals. A new family to show! Huuuuuuuuu

Greater Mouse Deer With this animal, I introduce you to the last genus of the family (Tragulus) and the one with the most members of the whole family (5). Classification can be a little bit confusing and I'm still learning.

For now, I can tell that this family (Tragulidae, commonly known as Mouse Deer) is composed of ten members that are classified into three different genus. I wish scientists explain things in an easier way. For sure, more people would get involved. Anyway, this is the largest Mouse Deer of the genus, closely matched by Williamson's mouse-deer (which we will be talking about soon). Also nocturnal and solitary as its relatives. It is widespread in Indonesia and part of Southeast Asia.

Its status is stable, however, loss of habitat and hunting are their main threats. if you have something to add, Awesome!. I'm not an expert so anything that can enrich the post is very welcome. *Photo Reference Credits: ronnienl

Thanks for the love, likes, reblogs. and support. See you soon.

My art print of Elephants is now available in my store. It includes all three species and also the subspecies. I know the Bornean Elephant is not yet a subspecies but I decided to include it because analysis indicates that it will be elevated as a subspecies soon.

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

Instagram Poster

Vietnam warty pig, Heude’s pig, Indochinese warty pig

This pig was described from two skulls collected in southern Vietnam in 1892, near to Ho Chi Minh City. Another specimen (an incomplete but apparently fresh skull of a juvenile male) has been reported from Ban Ni Giang in the Annamite Mountains.

Despite studies being done in the last century is still unclear if this was a new different species, a subspecies of the Wild boars from Indochina or even the same animal. This is just a reminder of how much is needed to be known about species in order to classified them correctly and see if somehow, we are able to understand them better.

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.

Phacochoerus – Warthog

I love this ugly! Since I was a child I feel impressed by his horrendous face. Still somehow to me is beautiful. 

There are six subspecies of Warthog until now but it could be more or less depending on further studies of some of this subspecies.

Common Warthog, Nolan Warthog: Mothers they are very aggressive, they can charge at bigger predators for defending their piglets. it is very a important element of the food chain since has many predators such as humans, crocodiles, hyenas, lions, leopards and even some birds of prey.

Southern Warthog: It can be found in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe

Central African Warthog: It can be found in Kenya and Tanzania

Desert Warthog, Somali warthog: Morphological differences between Desert Warthogs and Common Warthog have been overlooked until recently, that now they can be distinguished in the wild. Desert Warthog has drooping genal warts, tips of ears that bend backwards, swollen suborbital pouches round the eyes, and a shorter basi-occipital region that makes the head look “egg-shaped”.

Cape warthog: It used to be seen in the South African region but became extinct in 1865. I couldn’t find the reasons or a better image to take as a reference.

Eritrean warthog: Can be found in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia.

The next species is the last one from this huge family and and one of the most estrange from the suidae family: The Babirusa.
