It’s National Cat Day! Behold a black cat of epic proportions: this melanistic leopard (Panthera pardus). Also known as “panthers,” leopards can be found across a wide range in Africa and Asia and can reach weights of 198 lbs (90 kg). Individuals like the one pictured are rare in the wild and are affected by a genetic mutation called melanism, which results in their dark coloring. Scientists think there are some advantages that come with having a dusky coat, including being able to more seamlessly blend in with the darkness of the night and take in heat more efficiently in the Sun.

Sleeping Leopard - 8811b+ by Jen Hall Via Flickr: To finish off my "sleepy" series - It may not always be easy to find a big cat, but if you do chances are good that you will find them sleeping! Leopards don't sleep as much as those sleepy-head lions, but since they are mostly nocturnal they do like a good nap. Masai Mara, Kenya

I was trying this morning to distill what makes paleolithic European cave art...well cave art! And then apply it to an animal not seen in Europe. The technique was more important here than the results; I think the big bodies & smaller heads yet otherwise accurate features are a result of the artists having a sort of tunnel vision while working. As one drifts part to part lifting up the implement as little as possible the parts appear in proportion to their immediate neighbor. They are also distilled to their most important details & for the body that's a wide rectangular space. If you picture yourself working on a heavily textured wall as tall or taller than you are with the equivalent of a tea light (oil lamps) or a flickering torch you can imagine how easy it would be to get that kind of focused tunnel vision. While we see tunnel vision as a bad thing while learning art today in terms of cave art I just sort of see it as a natural consequence. You're going to focus really hard on what needs it; there are no erasers. Additional paint can't be bought at the store. Stone walls have limited access. You're going to make the best of every resource while you're there. Besides who said the animal had to be proportional anyway? You know exactly what you're looking at! Artist commentary: it was challenging deciding what was most important but also representing that important thing as accurately as possible. I feel like that's a common thread in all cave art from peoples across the world: draw what's most important. The rest will work out.

Lion! And kittens. :-) The most social of the wild felids.

[IS: an illustration of a lioness laying down on a pink background with orange grasses. She is facing to the right. One young lion cub is climbing over her back, and one is headbutting her neck. End.]

she is the first of the savanna biome series in my sticker club!
