Indian boar, Andamanese pig or Moupin pig These are animals mainly nocturnal. Females and young males move in small groups of about ten individuals, while the old boars are solitary for most of the year.
North African boar, Barbary Wild Boar This wild boar have been documented swimming offshore islands up to 7km apart. Ten different vocalizations have been distinguish. It is also remarkable that each mother can recognize her own offspring voice.
Central Asian boar Can be found in southeastern Iran, Pakistan and Northwest India.
Middle Asian boar, Black-footed Boar This boar can be seen in Middle Asia, Kazakhstan, the eastern Tien Shan, western Mongolia, Kashgar and possibly Afghanistan and southern Iran.

Amur leopard This leopard inhabits cold environments, which necessitates denser and thicker fur, making it, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all eight subspecies of leopards. It is classified as critically endangered, and its population is estimated to be just over 100 individuals. The Amur leopard resides in Russia and China, while sadly believed to be extinct in Korea. ______________________________________ Photo Reference: Paul Bugbee Check out my Store here ______________________________________ Thank you, guys, for your support. I hope this animal likes you all. Next week another member of the cetacea order. A weird one that somehow is very well known by many. Love in the form of likes, reblogs, follows or the three is pretty much appreciated. Have a beautiful rest of the week.
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.

Can you differentiate between the skull of the white rhino and that of the black rhino? Let me know in the comments. Black and White Rhinoceros diverged five million years ago, and although different on the outside, on the inside are kind of similar. More about rhinos in the book that I am making.

Vietnam Mouse Deer
This is a story of hope. The last specimen seen was in 1990 when a hunter killed one and donated it to scientists. For more than 30 years there was no sight of this animal. Only locals were assured to see it but those sights were nothing more than just words.
After years of research, investigation, and close work with locals, in 2019, camera traps finally registered sights of the animal. It was worldwide news that brought joy for the rediscovery of a species and hope for many others that today are believed to be extinct.
According to scientists, it’s rediscover was possible due to the close work with the locals who knew their environment, knew what can be found and how to find it.
It’s unknown its current population. What is known is that wire snares have been putting in danger not just the Vietnam Mouse Deer, but the entire population of species that inhabits the jungles of Vietnam and many other regions of Asia. The decline of wildlife due to snares has no precedents. Some of the densest jungles are now called ghost forests because no animals are seen.
This is the last member of this family. A very interesting one which I must say I didn't know much but that now I want to know more. The next one is a very unique and small family.

Thanks for all the love. Follows, likes, reblogs, good comments, bad comments, everything is appreciated.
I loved drawing this one. As someone commented on a dolphin I posted from the same family: Is like the pandas of the water. Again, what fascinates me the most about doing this animal encyclopedia is that I get to know mammals I didn't know existed and I can share that information with you all. Thank you for following and being interested. Let's see what can we learn from this wonderful dolphin.
Hector's Dolphin Hector's Dolphin lives exclusively on the coasts of New Zealand. They can live up to 22 years and are some of the smallest dolphins in the world. (If I'm not wrong the Vaquita is the smallest). Because of its size, predators can be numerous. Blue sharks, White sharks, Broadnose sevengill sharks, and probably Killer whales and Mako sharks. They hunt using echolocation which is basically finding prey using sound (Just as bats do). Their clicks (the sound they make) isn't as complex as other animals and travel short distances. Nonetheless is enough for them, since their environment is crowded and sound wouldn't be able to go long distances anyways. This animal is not in danger but its subspecies, the Māui Dolphin is probably one of the most endangered dolphins in the world, if not the most. We will talk about him in our next post. _____________________________________________ Credits: Hector's Dolphin Hector's Dolphin Ballenas, Delfines y Marsopas, Manuales de Identificación / Mark Carwardine, Martin Camm _____________________________________________ Thank you guys for your support!

New animal unlock! The Persian Leopard.
Finding information about this subspecies wasn't hard. I have a couple of books that mention it. The problem was to find something curious or different than the usual things. Of course, it covers the essentials and I also wish, it leaves you with some stuff you probably didn't know about this animal.
Process here:
I'm tired of drawing giraffes, but fortunately, I only have one more left to finish. After that, I'm excited to move on to drawing the Okapi, and once the family will be complete. Awesome!
Angolan Giraffe
The Angolan Giraffe, also known as the Namibian Giraffe, is native to southern Africa, specifically Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Angola. These giraffes have a unique coat pattern with irregular rusty brown patches on a whitish or light beige skin. Males have a distinctive bulk in the forefront.
There have been studies suggesting that the two surviving populations, one in the north and one in the south, may be different subspecies, but this conclusion has not yet been universally accepted within the scientific community. The distinction between giraffe species and subspecies as a whole is not yet fully clear. _______________________________________ Credits: Angolan Giraffe Photo Credits: Zdeněk Hašek ________________________________________ Thank you for your support.

Nile Hippopotamus It is a common misconception that hippos cannot swim. However, rather than "walking" underwater, hippos are able to swim by using their powerful legs to propel themselves forward and their webbed feet to steer. So while they may not look as graceful as some other aquatic animals, hippos are actually quite adept at swimming. The Hippopotamus is a genus comprising three subspecies. This is one of them. Wallpaper is available here.
The Irrawaddy Dolphin. One of the aspects I enjoy most about this project is the opportunity to learn as I work. Before getting involved with dolphins, I had no idea how many different species existed. Now, each time I work with them, I’m struck by the incredible diversity in their shapes and behaviors. This experience also highlights how much there is still to discover about them. Despite feeling a sense of familiarity with dolphins, the extent of the unknown is astonishing, and it amazes me how little we know about many of them. Join the club here: https://payhip.com/b/ZYD1O
A poster with all the Phacochoerus subspecies and the conservation status of each of them.
Follow my blog about Species, here. I am moving to Instagram eventually: Species of the World
I am selling the poster of the Tapirus family along with the Rhinotermitidae. Soon I will put this poster on sale but I want to make some posters for some of the genus of this family.
