I really enjoyed working on this one¡ It came up smoothly and accurately. I spent more hours than average thought but I feel it paid off.
Malayan Tiger
This is the last population of this subspecies (The mainland Asian one). It's a medium size tiger that is critically endangered.
They used to be abundant in Singapore in 1830 when the country was basically a dense jungle. However, the expansion of plantations along the island made attacks on humans by tigers quite common, so tiger hunting became a sport. Tiger attacks were reported almost daily in the late 1840s, and local authorities organized bounties decreasing the tiger population significantly. The last tiger was shot in 1932.
Today, some books estimate their numbers as less than 400 while others are less optimistic and estimate less than 150.

This one took me forever! But I was really into it. I actually animated the illustration once I finished. Check it out and also part of the process and some close-ups of the drawing on my Instagram account.
Masai Giraffe
This one is the largest giraffe of all. 5.5 meters high! This subspecies of giraffe are the tallest animal on earth. That is incredible. They can weigh up to 1.3 Tons and one-third of that weight is in their neck.
Another interesting thing is their tongue which can be 50 cm long. It is prehensile and allows them to grab leaves graciously.
Its numbers have reduced by 50% in the last few decades. Although there are more than 22.000 in the wild, it is alarming that the numbers have plumbed so fast. There have been sights of albino giraffes (white) and also very dark ones (which are really beautiful).

one of these things is not like the others....the cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii) was once considered a subspecies of Canada goose (Branta canadensis). they have overlapping ranges and nearly identical plumage, but are significantly smaller than most Canada geese, with more compact features and higher-pitched vocalizations.
