Two species of Zebra are endangered, Grevy’s and the Mountain Zebra. The Common Zebra is still numerous while the fourth kind of Zebra the Quagga became extinct in the late 1800’s. Zebras live in herds in the deserts and grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. They spend most of their time ,eating grass. They protect themselves from predators by keeping together while at least one member of a herd remains alert to danger at all times. Their large ears rotate to locate sounds, and their night vision is as good as an owl’s. The female Zebra carries a single foal for a year and the newborn can stand within an hour after birth and begins eating grass in a few days. Each has a distinctive stripe pattern, in particular the Grevy’s Zebra and so has been hunted for its hide. Zebras face an uncertain future in the wild. They must compete with ranchers and farmers for grazing land and scarce water resources. Many Zebras have been killed for their meat and hides. / The ‘Exotica Collection’ wildlife design portrays the beauty of the striking Zebra surrounded by African proteas while creating an awareness of their plight.

Red Pandas are found in the temperate forests of the Himalayas and some high mountain areas of China and Myanmar (Burma). Anatomical features indicate Red Pandas are most closely related to the racoon and similar to giant pandas and bears but are now in a ‘family’ of their own. Like Giant Pandas, Red Pandas have an extra ‘thumb’ which is simply an enlarged bone. In captivity Red Pandas can live up to 14 years but it is not known how long they live in the wild. / The Chinese name for Red Panda is hunho or firefox, due to their colour and similar size to a fox. The red panda was first discovered in 1821, 48 years before the giant pandas were found in 1869. The major threats confronting Red Pandas are loss and fragmentation of habitat due to deforestation; poaching for the pet and fur trades; and competition from domestic livestock. The fur of Red Pandas is used to make hats and clothing by local people in China. The fur hat with its long, luxurious tail at the back looks beautiful and warm. In Yunnan Province, this type of hat is still desired by newlyweds, because it was regarded as a talisman for a happy marriage in the past. The Red Panda is nearly extinct in the western part of its range due to human interference in its natural habitat. / The ‘Exotica Collection’ wildlife painting portrays the beauty of the shy Red Panda while creating an awareness of their plight.

This is a ruby red lacewing butterfly, and the way it had it’s proboscis inserted into the flower made me think of that moment when we first get a nice thick milkshake, and we are sucking hard on the straw, fighting against the frozen delight to extract it’s sweet creaminess!

American White Ibis, Eudocimus albus is a species of wading bird of the ibis family Threskiornithidae which occurs from the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States south through most of the New World tropics. It occurs in marshy wetlands and pools near the coast. It also occurs on mowed grass, lawns, and has become common in some city parks, where it can be found feeding alone or with other Ibis. It builds a stick nest in trees, bushes, or over water, and 2 to 5 eggs are typically laid. White ibises are monogamous and colonial, usually nesting in mixed colonies with other wading species. This ibis feeds by probing with its long, downcurved beak. Its diet consists of various fish, frogs and other water creatures, as well as insects and small reptiles. Adults are 65 cm long with a 95 cm wingspan. They have all-white plumage except for black wingtips (visible in flight) and reddish bills and legs. The red bill blends into the face of breeding birds; non-breeding birds show a pink to red face. Juveniles are largely brown with duller bare parts; they are distinguished from the Glossy and White-faced Ibises by white underparts and rumps. Over all both sexes look alike. Like the other species of ibis, the White Ibis flies with neck and legs outstretched, often in long, loose lines. The song of the male is an advertising hunk-hunk-hunk-hunk. The female squeals. When feeding, the birds often give a soft, grunting croo, croo, croo as they forage.

I did this capture in “The Kruger National Park” South Africa. Must say, patience is the word if you want to get a “tung” capture in the wild !

Emperor Tamarin The fur of the Emperor Tamarin is predominantly grey colored, with yellowish speckles on its chest. The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown. Outstanding is its long, white mustache, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. This primate inhabits tropical rain forests, living deep in the forest and also in open tree-covered areas. This diurnal species walks or runs quadrupedally through the forest, spending the majority of its days in the trees with quick, safe movements and broad jumps among the limbs. The diet of the Emperor Tamarin is similar to that of other tamarins. It is an omnivore, primarily eating fruits, insects and sap. When feeding on sap, the Emperor Tamarin latches on to the tree vertically with its claws dug into the bark of the tree. It also eats bird eggs and small vertebrates (such as tree frogs). Due to its small weight it can reach food at the far end of branches, which are not accessible to heavier animals.

Taken with a Canon 450d. I think it’s a heliconius, but I’m not sure. Help very appreciated! featured in Butterflies, Skippers, Moths, & Other Winged Insects – thank you very much, it’s an honour! :-)

This postcard sized artwork is a portrait of a cheeky parrot. Measures 5×7 inches, mixed media (colored pencils, black art marker, and gold paint pen) on light orange Canson pastel paper. I thought I’d try a hand at doing some smaller artworks – which actually are more of a challenge for me as I am used to working on a larger scale. I want to also see if I can try doing some ACEO sized works as well in the future. View more of my artwork at http://www.lynnetteshelley.com
