Atlantic White-Sided Dolphin. (Lagenorhynchus acutus) Least Concern. As always, I have enjoyed working with this family. Working with cetaceans is always enjoyable. The most amusing aspect is getting to know them. I must confess that my knowledge about cetaceans was quite limited, extending only to the commonly known dolphins and whales. However, compiling this information has opened my eyes, allowing me to marvel at the hidden wonders of the sea and emphasizing the importance of protecting it. _____________________ Thank you all for your support.

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
The tayra, also known as the Eira barbara, is a fascinating member of the weasel family found in Central and South America's forests. Known for their agility and intelligence, tayras are adept climbers and hunters, often preying on birds, rodents, and even small mammals.

This is a family that has captivated me since I was a kid. Its strange shape and the resemblance to a kind of a little elephant, but also the fact that could be found in my country Colombia just fascinated me. I still remember the first time I saw a tapir and was able to touch it and feed it. However, a Malayan Tapir was an animal that I just could see a long time after, in the Singapore zoo. Store Instagram Malayan Tapir Is the only species that live out of America and the one with the most particular color palette. Its pattern is supposed to be used as camouflage but I don't really know if works. It is curious though, that the Panda shares the same pattern but they both aren't even far related.
Another curious thing is that the babies are very similar in coloration to the ones in America. Brownish color with white spots that are actually good for camouflage. They have very poor sigh but are compensated with a great sense of smell and hearing. Some scientist state that there is a subspecies of the Malayan Tapir (The Tapirus indicus brevetianus, Kuiper, 1926), with the particularity of being completely black. Registered for the first time in 1924, was captured and taken to the Rotterdam zoo, where died soon after. The second one was photographed in 2000. However, taking it as a subspecies because of its coloration is inaccurate since there are no further studies that demonstrate its validity. It is actually just a case of melanism. Still, both theories are yet to be confirmed. _____________________________________________________ Credits: Malayan TapirMelanistic Tapir _____________________________________________________

Western Sumatran Rhinoceros
The first time I knew about the existence of this animal, I was 9 years old. It wasn't a photograph but an illustration and I was completely astonished that an animal that resembles prehistoric times was still among us. I finally saw a photograph when I was about 15. There wasn't any internet at that time so access to things was entirely through books. One of my wishes in life is to see one of these ones in person but knowing its precarious situation, the hope to see one fades a little every day. The Western Sumatran Rhinoceros is the most numerous of all the three subspecies with no more than 80 individuals. This subspecies was the last one to inhabit a zoo. The Cincinnati Zoo. The animal left the zoo in 2015 to return to Indonesia in order to start a reproduction program that has brought some success but nothing significant.
However, one female calf was born this year (2022), which brings some hope to the preservation of the species. ___________________________________________ References: Sumatran_rhinoceros Photo Credit: David Ellis.

My artwork featuring all equine species and subspecies is now available in my store. It's been about a year since I began working on horses, so it's satisfying to see it completed. Although they are a well-known and beloved family, there are still some discrepancies among biologists. Questions persist, such as whether the extinct Tarpan should be classified as a species or not, and even the classification of domestic and feral horses. Moreover, it's concerning that four subspecies of this family are already extinct.
Regardless, for those who love horses and those who wish to delve deeper into this captivating family, you can purchase the artwork here:

Omura's Whale Little is known about this whale because was until 2003 that it was thought to be a smaller form of the Bryde's Whale. The description was made public in Nature, a British scientific weekly journal by three Japanese scientist. They determine the existence of the new specimen by DNA analysis. It was later discovered that its closest relative might be the Blue Whale. It is one of the smallest species of rorqual.
Searching for images of this whale I saw a few videos of the whale eating and it was amazing. I never thought this size o f animal could be so fast.

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.

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.
