Working on this one was a real challenge. There are just a few blurry photographs of this animal before its extinction in the 50s, so I had to recreate its features based on written descriptions and the Sumatran Tiger photographs which are its closest relative. I believe I did a great job and I can proudly say this is one of the best illustrations of the Bali Tiger you can find.
Bali Tiger
This animal owes its extinction exclusively to humans. It was exterminated in order to make the land habitable for humans in the 1940s. Finally in the 1950s was declared extinct. This tiger form belongs to the second subspecies of tiger (sondaica, the one that lives in islands), along with the Javan Tiger which is also extinct, and the Sumatran Tiger, the only survivor.
There is some hope that this animal might still survive in Bali because there are a lot of unexplored lands that haven't been studied. However, is already 70 years since its last sight.
It is upsetting that an animal was brought to extinction on purpose. And a loved one. What concerns me the most is that if this can happen to an animal that we all love and care about, imagine those that we don't know or we don't care much about.
I care about animals and I want to do something to protect them. And I think of this project as a way to help. If we know the animals we share the world with more, we are more likely to feel about them and protect them. You can help too by sharing this project.

CANTO NOCTURNO
I
Turbia y tenue
lontananza,
fin y viaje,
me señalan.
Tromba, otoño,
con el luto;
lustre, mayo,
con el fruto.
Hechos míos,
lo sufrido
lo pensado,
cuanto he sido:
es un ascua
que se ahoga,
es un canto
que demora.
III
La viña que grana,
el fruto que tienta
prefiere y alaba,
cuanto turba aleja,
cuanto se aja y pudre,
cuanto apremia y brama.
El temor te acucie
que pocos indagan
—oculto a la turba—,
cuál hinche y no estalla...
mirar la hermosura
que fulge y no escalda...
Ya en rapto exaltado
buza en ti la llama
y en ecos dorados
tu vida se apaga.
*
NACHT-GESANG
I
Mild und trüb
Ist mir fern
Saum und fahrt
Mein geschick.
Sturm und herbst
Mit dem tod
Glanz und mai
Mit dem glück.
Was ich tat
Was ich litt
Was ich sann
Was ich bin:
Wie ein brand
Der verraucht
Wie ein sang
Der verklingt.
III
Sei rebe die blümt
Sei frucht die betört
Dir lieb und gerühmt ..
Nur meide was stört
Was siecht und vermorscht
Was hastet und brüllt ..
Von seltnen erforscht
Der menge verhüllt
Begehre das graun
Das schwellt nicht mehr sprengt –
Das schöne zu schaun
Das wärmend nicht sengt
Bis traumstill auf höhn
Der strahl in dir tauscht
In goldnem getön
Dein leben verrauscht.
Stefan George

This is simple a very true blog, nobody want to hear about, but it’s true. A geologist living with analyze dying species extinction over time, that’s quite normal in geological times, but now it seams, after five million of year’s evolution we humans going the same way.

The last member of the Giraffe family and to my eyes the most beautiful! I must say that when I saw it at the zoo the first time, it didn't strike me as much as now when I draw it.
Is clearly the head of a giraffe in the body of a prehistoric animal adorned with the stripes of a zebra running down its legs. If you think of it, is like coming from a fantasy book.
Okapi
It is a living fossil and contrary to its closest relative, the giraffe, which is mostly found in the savannas, the okapis live in the dense forests of the Congo. It is very elusive and timid making it a really hard specimen to study in the wild. Therefore little is known about it.
The poster of the Giraffidae family is coming soon!

Today during biology class we ended up doing an activity in which we could choose an animal to find out if it was in danger of extinction.
Because of concern and curiosity, I asked about Maned Wolf, my siblings in Spirit and Soul, and found out that they will probably become extinct in the near future, my feelings went to hell, I felt my heart breaking into pieces, I felt useless, because I know I have no way to stop it
In a few years my spirit brothers and sisters would no longer be here, and many Therian who could identify with them will not have the chance to one day have contact with our spirit or soul brothers and sisters.

Pero naturalmente nos guardamos de revelar, con esos horribles gritos, que tenemos una cabeza totalmente vacía, porque, en un mundo que solo espera que gritemos y revelemos que tenemos la cabeza completamente vacía, eso significaría inevitablemente nuestro fin. Con el tiempo nos hemos acostumbrado a mantener todo en secreto en nuestro interior, en cualquier caso lo que pensamos, lo que nos atrevemos a pensar, para que no nos maten, porque sabemos que matan a quien no sabe mantener secreto su pensamiento, su auténtico pensamiento, del que nadie, salvo él mismo, puede tener idea, le había dicho a Gambetti. El pensamiento mantenido en secreto, le había dicho a Gambetti, es el decisivo, no el expresado, el publicado, que tiene muy poco en común, la mayoría de las veces absolutamente nada, y es siempre un pensamiento mucho más bajo que el mantenido en secreto, que lo es todo, mientras que el publicado, como sabemos, solo es de lo más indigente. Pero si tuviéramos la posibilidad de publicar el pensamiento secreto, de expresarlo aunque solo fuera un instante, le había dicho a Gambetti, estaríamos acabados.
Thomas Bernhard, Extinción. Un desmoronamiento. Traducción de Miguel Sáenz.
