Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies. Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference. I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration.

I loved to do this one. I think the pose was amazing and challenging and shows the nature of this magnificent animal. Thanks so much to Zoran Milutinovic who allowed me to use one of his amazing photographs as a reference. Siberian Tiger / Amur Tiger The Siberian Tiger is my favorite. Lives in cold temperatures so its coat is denser and thicker, making it puffier. It is also one of the biggest, sharing the size with the Bengal Tiger. This combination makes, in my point of view, the most majestic and powerful tiger. Studies demonstrate that Siberian Tigers used to be bigger before the 70s. However, the reduction of its environment mixed with the lack of food that comes with it, obliged them to adapt, reducing its size. This is normal in nature. Animals have to adapt if they want to survive. The problem that I see here is that the time frame is very short (50 years) and I am not so sure if this animal or others will be able to keep the pace. Is facing many threats. poaching, diseases brought by domestic dogs such as canine distemper, habitat destruction, and genetic diversity. At some point, less than 50 tigers remained. Today, the number recovered to about 500 which is good but not enough. ________________________________________________ Credits: Felids and Hyenas of the World: Wildcats, Panthers, Lynx, Pumas, Ocelots, Caracals, and Relatives.
