Hello! I'm so proud to finally present you the artwork with all the Perissodactyla order including its subspecies (Rhinos, Tapirs, and Horses). Took me more than a year to finish but I am really happy with the result. The artwork includes the common name, its Latin name, and its conservation status. 46 animals in total of which 10 are sadly already extinct.

Here is the link in case you are interested:https://www.inprnt.com/.../all-perissodactyla-species.../

Thank you for your support!

Looking at the their small, flexible proboscis (snout and upper lips) and thick, rough skin, the casual observer might think the tapir is a relative of pigs, or related to anteaters or elephants. Its closest relatives are actually the horse and rhinoceros. Similar to their earliest hoofed ancestors, tapirs have four toes on the front feet and three toes on the hind feet. The toes are separated widely, with the middle toes larger than the others. All toes have hooves, and each foot has a callous pad which supports some of the weight.

At first glance tapirs may look like slow and clumsy animals, and an easy catch for predators. In fact they're very capable! Tapirs have recessed eyes and short ears, legs and tail. They also have a stocky body that is rounded in back and tapered in front. When threatened, their compact and streamlined shape enables them to crash through the thickest forest underbrush with remarkable speed. They are also excellent divers and swimmers, and seek refuge from predators in deep waterways, where they can remain submerged for several minutes. If cornered the thick, hard skin on its neck helps to protect it from a predator's sharp fangs. Tapirs also have strong jaws and large teeth that can inflict a serious bite. ©

なぜか舌が出ていた

The tapir, for some reason, was sleeping with its tongue out.

Spotted, Striped Endangered Tapir Calf Born in the UK

A new spotted and striped Malayan tapir calf is wobbling around in Cheshire, England. Born at the Chester Zoo, the baby has been called important for the conservation of the endangered species.

There are fewer than 4,500 Malayan tapirs in the world.

Malayan Tapirs 5-6-23

Hell is a place where you have to draw a tapir’s head at ¾ view. 

I didn’t end up drawing any baby tapirs, but it's important for you all to know they have markings like a watermelon.

I finished the tapir's family. I had contemplated including the Kabomani Tapir, supposedly a new species discovered a few years ago. However, after conducting extensive research, I found insufficient credible evidence to support its classification as a distinct species. Nevertheless, I did uncover information confirming the existence of four subspecies of Lowland Tapir. Some studies suggest that a black tapir photographed in Malaysia may represent a new species of tapir, yet most scientists contend that it is simply a melanistic variation of the Malayan Tapir. As these examples illustrate, animal classification is not always clear-cut. Therefore, I will continue to study this fascinating animal family and keep abreast of any new developments.

For the time being, this art print provides the most current depiction of the Tapir family, including the four subspecies of Lowland Tapir, the conservation status, and scientific names. You can purchase it by clicking on the link below. Tapir's Art Print Thank you for your support. Please like and share this image if you think it is worth it. See you soon with a new family. A loved one by many.

It's been a while since I've made any pendants, so I thought I'd create some in between my larger projects. I've decided to make more little cherry blossom tapir pendants! I'll be posting tiny dragon and capybara pendants soon.

They're all available in my shop <3

Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus)

This is the only one of the four tapir species found outside the Americas. That got me thinking: where did tapirs first evolve? It turns out they first appeared in North America tens of millions of years ago, before later dispersing into Asia and South America, and finally disappearing from their northern range. Malayan tapirs are today found on the Malay peninsula and the island of Sumatra, in tropical forests nearby water. They actually have really bad eyesight, but their weird trunk-nose gives them a great sense of smell!
