My New Art Print With All The Panthera Genera Species And Subspecies Is Available In My Store. The Artwork

This is probably the most unknown Tapir for me because I always thought that this one and the Amazonic Tapir were the same. Now I can see how different they are. (And you will see as well when I post the Amazonic one). Store Instagram

Baird's Tapir it owns its name to a Naturalist called Fullerton Baird. It is funny how naturalists in general like to name "things" and they think that those "things" didn't have a name before. Well, this one had. Danta, Anteburro, Macho de monte and Mountain Cow just to name a few. It inhabits all of Central America. Not Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, or Missouri, no. I'm talking about real America where in this case, Central America will be that piece of land that unites South with North America and is divided into many countries such as Belice, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Panama, among others. Also can be found in Colombia and Ecuador. Baird's Tapir is mostly nocturnal and likes to live close to water because they love to take baths. In fact, they are great swimmers. One thing that I found cute about these Tapirs is that they are monogamous, which means that they mate for life. Both parents are in charge of raising their offspring. Because of its size, adults Baird's Tapir's only predators are Crocodiles and Jaguars. However, humans and its actions have put these species in constant decline. Now is endangered with about 3000 adult animals but if things don't change, is estimated that its decline in the near future can go down to 80%. _______________________________________________ Credits: Baird's Tapir Baird's Tapir Photo Credits: Klaus Rudloff ______________________________________________ Thank you, guys.

The new animal is unlocked. The Indian Leopard subspecies. Join the club to get access to the complete infographics. Unique illustrations, awesome layout, and good information about mammals. here is the link:

Working these days has been a little difficult for me. As I mentioned, I moved to live in Canada last week and for now, I don’t have a place to live. I’m staying in the house of a friend and I have spent most of my time getting used to the weather in Vancouver and looking for a house. So far so good. I like changes and I think that being uncomfortable, sometimes just shakes the routine away and forces you to try new things. In my life, I have lived in eight different places. What do you think about moving from your comfort zone? Read you in the comments.

Lowland Tapir This species is a little bit tricky. English books just recognize one species, while Spanish and Portuguese recognize four. Since the animal is from South America and most of the biologists who studied this animal are from there, I will believe their information has more credibility. Therefore, I will present four subspecies of Lowland Tapir. Let’s begin. Tapirus terrestris aenigmaticus From what I understood and what I have seen, this one coloration is darker. This might not be a parameter to identify the subspecies, since animals of the same species can present various colorations. However, its skull presents substantial differences.

This subspecies inhabits the South East of Colombia, Ecuador, and the North of Peru. ___________________________________ Credits: Tapirus terrestris aenigmaticus Lowland Tapir Photo Credits: Ellen van Yperen ___________________________________ Store Instagram Thank you guys!

Ignorance is bliss but is also fear.

Working on this project many times keeps me thinking about the impact we have over the life we share the world with. Humanity has been ignorant mostly of all of its existence, and whatever we used to fear, our answer, our instinct is to eliminate it. Now we think more before we act (some) and we discover that many times our fears are just funded. And we are learning to care about what we used to fear and to price what surrounds us, instead of thinking that they are there to serve us. Unfortunately, for some is just too late. South China Tiger

This population of tigers is believed extinct in the wild since not a sign of this animal has been reported since the late 1980s. There are programs trying to regrow the population in China and also in Africa. Its numbers are less than 200 and the reproduction programs have shown little success. The animals often present inbreeding depression and low genetic diversity. Before its extinction, the animal wasn't deeply studied in the wild so little is known about its natural behavior. It used to be listed as a subspecies but this recognition was based on the study of just five skulls. Now is counted as a population of the panthera tigris tigris. _____________________________________________ Credits: Felids and Hyenas of the World: Wildcats, Panthers, Lynx, Pumas, Ocelots, Caracals, and Relatives.  Dr. José R.

North American Cougar Puma concolor couguar Family: Felidae Genus: Puma Conservation Status: Least Concern This feline stands out as one of the world's most versatile adaptors, thriving across diverse habitats in the Americas. Originally, multiple subspecies were designated due to this adaptability, but now only two remain valid: the North American and the larger South American variant.

Its fur displays variations based on habitat, becoming denser in colder regions and lighter in deserts or warmer zones. While not classified among the big cat species, it shares the closest kinship with the cheetah.

Cub cougars exhibit spots on their skin, providing camouflage, which gradually fade as they mature. More information and awesome illustrations about animals? Here No money? No problem. Follows, likes and shares will help a lot too. Quedamos QAP

Working on this one took me forever. I’m very happy with the result though because I wanted a pose that portrays the animal with majesty and power.

Bengal Tiger

If you ever saw a tiger, 90% of the chances are that you saw a Bengal Tiger. It is the most famous and probably the one that has inspired us the most. The versatility that the tiger has to propel the imagination of humans is unmeasurable. From a cruel villain to a magnificent god, its charisma and beauty have made us dream for centuries, and are now just part of the whole human culture, regardless of nationality.

It is also the popular white tiger which is nothing but a lack of melanin, the pigment in charge of giving us color. Less popular but equally magnificent and extremely rare is the golden tiger which can be seen just in captivity. A problem! if you ask me because this means that has been humanly altered genetically to get the color. There is also the black tiger, which is not completely black. Its black stripes are thicker making the orange color less visible. However, there are some reports stating that completely black tigers have been spotted in the wild. No photographs have been taken though. 

India primordially is its homeland but now it can also be seen more often than in the wild in the backyards of United States homes. __________________________________________________ Credits: Felids and Hyenas of the World: Wildcats, Panthers, Lynx, Pumas, Ocelots, Caracals, and Relatives.  Dr. José R.

🌿 Who is the Central American Tigrina? This tiny wild cat (Leopardus tigrinus centralis) might be a subspecies… or a full species of its own. Some studies even link it closer to ocelots than to its supposed cousins. Mysterious, elusive, and stunningly spotted, it prowls the forests of Central America — quietly vanishing before we’ve even figured out exactly who it is. 🐾✨

Philippine Warty Pig

Loss of natural habitat, uncontrolled logging and hunting, have been forced into close contact with domestic pigs, and hybridization between the two species has been reported. Accordingly, genetic contamination of Philippine Warty Pig stock is a real and irreversible problem

More recent mtDNA studies have suggested the likelihood for separating ‘philippinensis’ and ‘mindanensis’ as two full different species.
