A new animal was unveiled: the Javan Tiger. This is great news. The Javan Tiger was declared extinct in 2008, and there has been no sight of the animal since 1975. However, a single hair found near a plantation in Java matches 96% with a pelt of a Javan Tiger held in a museum, giving us hope that this population might not be extinct.

Kabonabi Tapir

This Tapir is relatively new discovered. Although The ex-president Roosevelt shoot one in 1914 and named as a new species, the scientific Marc G. M. Van Roosmalen discredited in 2000, Until it was named as a new species in 2013.

However, the aboriginals that inhabit the Amazon knew that they coexisted with two different species of Tapirs, the Amazon Tapir and the Kabonabi Tapir. This was principally due to the difference in coloration and size. In Brazil, the Kabonabi’s tapir is called danta pretinho, which means Little Black Tapir.

Its status is unknown but is believed to be vulnerable.

The next pages of the book are ready! Now talking about the Black Rhinoceros and its subspecies. Considering joining the club to be part of this amazing project. All Mammals of the World illustrated, included its subspecies which makes it unique.

Mexican Pronghorn

The number of these animals has been reduced by %99. It has been tried to be reintroduced in Coahuila, Mexico in 1995 and 1998 but the results haven't been promising.

Low nutrients plants, lack of water that many times compete with cattle, and the number of predators haven't created the best environment for the Pronghorn to flourish. These elements have resulted in the distress of the animals that aren't able to reproduce normally.

Wild Boar / Sus scrofa The most subspecies with a total of 16. Different authors recognize up to 32 subspecies. Colin Groves undertook probably the most comprehensive review when proposing the recognition of at least 16 morphologically distinct subspecies. However, his work has been challenged by Peter Genov who proposed recognition of only 4 subspecies. We are going to follow Colin Groves studies and we portrayed 16 subspecies. today the first four. Central European boar This boar was held in a high esteem by the Celtic culture and it was often seen engraved in helmets, shields and swords. It was considered a sacred animal.

Carpathian boar One of the biggest if not the biggest subspecies with males recorder to weigh more than 300 kg. Such size make immune to wolves. Nowadays is rare to see an animal that size, due to past overhunting which prevent animals from attaining their full growth.

Mediterranean boar, Sardinian wild boar The Sardinian wild boar shows a significant closer relationship with the domestic pig. This suggests that this subspecies was originated in the Neolithic  from populations of domesticated domestic pigs. 

Anatolian Boar Very common board in the Judean and Jerusalem area. In Haifa, they can be spot roaming the streets of the city, specially in darkness where they destroy big can trash in the searching of food. They can be dangerous at night to car drivers. Maremman boar   It is assumed extinct due to the introduction of another subspecies in the area. Because of the crossing of subspecies, the subgenus in question lost its unique gene pool.

African Forest Elephant Loxodonta cyclotis Family: Elephantidae Genus: Loxodonta Subspecies: 00 Feed: Herbivorous Habitat: Monsoon Forest Status and Conservation: Endangered This unique elephant species is the smallest of the three (2.4 meters), it boasts a disproportionately impressive tusk. Adapted for forest life, it has a compact frame, less curved tusks for easy navigation, and probably the most captivating feature is its distinct yellow eyes common in many of these animals.

However, their valuable tusks make them targets for ivory poaching. This endangered species is challenging to study due to its remote habitat. Full body illustration and extended explanation join here: Discovering Club

As I mentioned to you before, I am planning to do a digital sticker album to collect the animals in order to sponsor my work. I am in the works on the layout but especially on the functioning and interactivity of the album. The idea is to publish different albums that will be divided by the order of mammals. It will be a little basic at the beginning (but nicely done) but once the album is running and financially viable the idea in the short run is to make an app where people can trade stickers and collect them all. Other things I want to do after the base is more solid will be a book having experts writing the texts of the animals. Let me know your thoughts.

Tapirus terrestris spegazzinii

Is the third subspecies of the Lowland Tapir. Found in the south of Brazil in Matto Grosso, Bolivia, Paraguay, and the North of Argentina, in the Chaco zone which is declared Endangered. However, as the animal also inhabits other countries, is hard to assess its status. What differentiates this one from the other subspecies s that its coat is lighter than the subspecies Tapirus terrestris colombianus (The one I showed the last time) and lighter than the Tapirus terrestris terrestris which will be covered in the next post of tapirs. Again, in English texts, this animal doesn't have subspecies and even on Wikipedia, there is no English translation from the text in Spanish. However, Spanish or Portuguese (languages that are talked about where the animal lives) have the four I mentioned. I am rather inclined to believe more in the people who have studied the animal closer and have been around it more. To be clear, I am not an expert. ____________________________________________________

Today we are going to start with a family that is loved by many. Is not my cup of tea but I have learned about them and they are indeed fascinating. The equines. Domestic Horse

The domestication of horses is believed to occurred around 4000 to 3500 BCE, possibly in what is today Kazakhstan. However, there is some debate among experts about the exact time and location of horse domestication, as evidence of early horse domestication is limited and sometimes difficult to interpret. It is generally agreed, however, that horses were first domesticated for their meat, milk, and hides, and that they were later used for transportation, agriculture, and warfare.

There are numerous breeds of domestic horses, which are classified into three categories: Hot Blood, Cold Blood, and Warm Blood. These majestic creatures have played a crucial role in human evolution. The horse was one of the first animals to be domesticated, and their partnership with humans has allowed us to travel greater distances, carry heavy loads, cultivate crops with greater efficiency, and conquer the world. In short, without the taming of horses, we would not have been able to achieve the level of progress and development that we have today. It is also a very recurrent animal in art as we have seen it in many paintings and sculptures throughout history. It is commonly connected with strength, power, speed, and freedom. It is clear that this animal awakened an ongoing fascination that has been represented on numerous occasions. _________________________________________ Photo Credits: www.freepik.es.
