Java Mouse Deer

It hasn’t been possible to know the numbers of this animal in the wild because is commonly mistaken with its other member of the family, the Lesser Mouse Deer, which also shares the same environment.

Inhabits in Java and possibly in Bali. However, in Bali, its existence hasn’t been totally validated.

As we can see, the story of this family has just started to be written and I wouldn’t be surprised to see changes in the future when more is known about them. I hope they still are around.

Fraser's Dolphin Lagenodelphis hosei Family: Delphinidae Genus: Lagenodelphis Status and Conservation: Least Concern This dolphin species was first identified in 1895 when a skull was discovered on a Borneo beach. The skull was later donated to the British Museum, where Scottish zoologist Francis Fraser determined that...

White Lipped Peccary 

This peccary has five different subspecies. Oddly, I could not find it’s common names. Just the latin ones. Very little information about each of them and more as a general information of the species. 

The two main threats to their survival are deforestation and hunting. Natural predators include the jaguar and puma and of course, us. They can be very aggressive when cornered and maintain contact with the herd by making a low moaning sound.

The herds can be immense with up to two hundred individuals, which can be beneficial to avoid attacks from predators, specially the jaguar. 

Tayassu pecari pecari: Can be found in Colombia (west), Venezuela, Guayanas y Brasil (north of the Amazon river).

Tayassu pecari aequatore: Colombia (south east) and Ecuador.

Tayassu pecari albirostre: Brasil (South of the Amazon), Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay and north of Argentina.

Tayassu pecari spiradens: From the north of Colombia to Costa Rica.

Tayassu pecari ringens: From Nicaragua to the south of México.

New sticker album drop! 🦏🐎🦓

I’ve just released a project that’s close to my heart—a sticker album featuring all known species and subspecies of the Perissodactyl order: rhinos, tapirs, horses, zebras. Every animal is illustrated and comes with fascinating facts about their habitat, conservation status, and more.

It’s fun, educational, and made to spark curiosity about our world—because we need more things like that out there.

🛒 Limited copies available now in my webstore (album + stickers included!) 👉 Sticker Album

Thank you for supporting meaningful, handmade projects like this one 💛

An illustrated poster with all the rhinos of the world. Is the most complete compilation because includes all the subspecies, even the ones that are extinct.

It took time to search, compile and corroborate information. Some of the extinct subspecies' quality photographs weren't good and some others didn't even have, so I had to base them on written descriptions.

Moreover, illustrating a rhino is not easy. Is a meticulous job. A rhino has a lot of textures that take time to do if you want to make it believable (an average of 10 hours per rhino). it drained me and I found myself exhausted at the end. But worthed it. I love animals, I love rhinos and I love to study them and share what I learned.

Hello! I'm so proud to finally present you the artwork with all the Perissodactyla order including its subspecies (Rhinos, Tapirs, and Horses). Took me more than a year to finish but I am really happy with the result. The artwork includes the common name, its Latin name, and its conservation status. 46 animals in total of which 10 are sadly already extinct.

We are moving to a very charismatic family: The giraffes. I had a little trouble trying to identify the species and subspecies of this family because has been changing throughout the years. It was thought to be one single species with nine subspecies. Today, different taxonomic divisions are recognized but probably the most accepted are four species, eight subspecies, and one ecotype (which I will explain in the future) So let's begin!

Reticulated Giraffe It is a single species with no subspecies. Along with the Rothschild's giraffe, those two are the most common giraffes in zoos and are probably the ones you have seen.

Its coat might be the easiest to recognize because its patches are very distinctive from other giraffes (sharp-edged, reddish-brown polygonal patches divided by a network of thin white lines).

Its particular shape has evolved in order to be able to eat the tallest branches of the trees avoiding all kinds of competence. Once an adult, the chances of being hunted by predators diminishes dramatically, making it a very successful animal.

It is facing a dramatical decrease in population due is the target for hunting for different purposes. Not just for trophy hunting but also various body parts are used for different things: Meat for food, the hairs of the tail served as bracelets, necklaces, threads, etc. Shields, sandals, and drums were made using the skin, and the strings of musical instruments were from the tendons, etc. Many organizations are taking care of this animal in Africa and all over the world. It will be a total shame to lose an animal like this one.

Thank you guys for your support. I'm gonna mix things up a little in order not to bore you with one whole family of mammals at once. So next week, a whole new species that I think you gonna like.

Please like, reblog, or comment if you like the content. Cheers.

As you know my plan is to do all mammals and every time I finish one, I feel that I am closer to my goal. I don't need to rush. Step by step I will get where I want to. Soon, I'm releasing a digital collectible sticker album through Patreon. The idea is to find ways to support my work. What do you think of this idea? Please let me know. Rothschild's Giraffe This animal classification is a little bit tricky. Some consider it a subspecies while others consider it an ecotype of the Nubian Giraffe. An ecotype is a species that develops physical differences due to its surroundings. However, genetically is the same species. The term is a little ambiguous because I think describes in many cases, a subspecies or the beginning of one. Rothschild's Giraffe is also known as the Baringo Giraffe or the Ugandan Giraffe. It is known to be one of the largest subspecies. Also, its sight, smell and hearing is well developed and its body is specially built for speed. However, the easiest way to differentiate this giraffe from the other subspecies is that it has five ossicones. Yes, five! (Ossicones are the name for the horns of the giraffes). The normal two that all giraffes have, one in the middle of the head and one behind each ear. Incredible. Is critically endangered despite being one of the best-evolved giraffes. That just can mean that is not the environment the one that is putting in danger the survival of this animal but us. Nature takes over the weakest, we humans, take over the strongest. Dwarf Giraffes? Well yeah. I just discovered that these subspecies have Dwarf Giraffes. They are about 3 meters high, which is close to two meters less than the normal size of these animals. However, scientists speculate their size was caused more by inbreeding due to species decline. ______________________________________________ Credits: Rothschild's Giraffe Rothschild's Giraffe Dwarf Giraffes Photo Credits: Ellen van Yperen ______________________________________________ Thank you guys for all the support.

Please let me know if you like the idea of making a collectible sticker album. I am already working on the book and creating the stickers. I think it will be digital first using my basic knowledge of that stuff but the goal is to have a team to make it an app.
