Young White Bengel Tiger taking a dip in the water in the evening. White tigers are individual specimens of the ordinary tiger (Panthera tigris) with a genetic condition that nearly eliminates pigment in the normally orange fur although they still have dark stripes. This occurs when a tiger inherits two copies of the recessive gene for the paler coloration: pink nose, grey-mottled skin, ice-blue eyes, and white to cream-coloured fur with black, grey, or chocolate-coloured stripes. (Another genetic condition also makes the stripes of the tiger very pale; white tigers of this type are called snow-white.) White tigers do not constitute a separate subspecies of their own and can breed with orange ones, although all of the resulting offspring will be heterozygous for the recessive white gene, and their fur will be orange. The only exception would be if the orange parent was itself already a heterozygous tiger, which would give each cub a 50% chance of being either double-recessive white or heterozygous orange. Compared to orange tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger both at birth and at full adult size.[1] This may have given them an advantage in the wild despite their unusual coloration. Heterozygous orange tigers also tend to be larger than other orange tigers. Kailash Sankhala, the director of the New Delhi Zoo in the 1960s, suggested that “one of the functions of the white gene may have been to keep a size gene in the population, in case it’s ever needed.” Dark-striped white individuals are well-documented in the Bengal Tiger subspecies (Panthera tigris tigris or P. t. bengalensis), may also have occurred in captive Siberian Tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), and may have been reported historically in several other subspecies. White pelage is most closely associated with the Bengal, or Indian subspecies. Currently, several hundred white tigers are in captivity worldwide with about 100 of them in India, and their numbers are on the increase. The modern population includes both pure Bengals and hybrid Bengal–Siberians, but it is unclear whether the recessive gene for white came from only from Bengals, or from any of the Siberian ancestors as well. The unusual colouration of white tigers has made them popular in zoos and entertainment that showcases exotic animals. The magicians Siegfried & Roy are famous for having bred and trained white tigers for their performances, referring to them as “royal white tigers” perhaps from the white tiger’s association with the Maharaja of Rewa.

Submitted to the Sold! group. / Sold 1 Poster, Mystery Buyer The Bongo, or broad-horned antelope, Boocercus eurycerus, is one of Africa’s most elusive animals. Keeping close to the jungle, it never shows itself in the open. The bongo is about four feet high at the shoulder. It is a rich chestnut color with ten to fifteen white-yellow vertical torso stripes on the sides of the body. Bulls grow darker with age and become black about the head and neck. Both sexes have massive lyre-shaped horns that spiral in one complete twist, but the female’s are not as large as the male’s. The bongo is the only Tragelaphid in which both the male and female have horns. Among the various species of antelope in the African Equatorial forrest, Bongos are the largest. They are the only forest antelope to form herds. Bongos are extremely shy, making accurate population estimation difficult. Specifically they are found in the Lowland Rain Forest of West Africa and the Congo Basin to the Central African Republic and Southern Sudan, but are extremely rare. Due to the extreme elusiveness of the species, the bulk of information gathered on the Bongo Antelope typically comes from studies requiring captivity . It is known, however, that the Bongo must inhabit close to dense vegetation. Because of this dependency on thick vegetation, destruction of the Bongo habitat is an increasing threat. The Bongo has a highly advanced social organization. Males tend to be partially solitary, however, females and juveniles typically coexist. Dominance behavior can be observed in multi-male interactions. They possess a wide range of vocalizations. Bongos snort, grunt, moo, and bellow out a “bleat-like” alarm call. Bongos have a prehensile tongue, making for a helpful feeding apparatus. They also are known to feed on wood that has been burned after lightning storms. This unique behavior may indicate that the Bongo uses the burned wood as a source of salt or minerals. After birth, calves are temporarily abandoned in the undergrowth by the mother. This may be a protective tactic for the vulnerable calf to avoid predators. Not to worry, the mother returnes periodically to nurse. Bongos have been observed to hold their horns on the back of the neck when fleeing. This suggests that they are probably preventing getting entangled in the surrounding vegetation. As a result, bare patches of fur are visible on the backs of older Bongos. Bongos are the only forest antelope that gathers in herds (of about 20 animals). They are fast runners who can also jump very well, but they often go around or under obstacles in the forest. These shy antelopes like to wallow in mud. They are mostly nocturnal. We are not sure of there numbers in the wild, but they are very rare. They can be found in many zoological parks and reserves throughout the United States and the rest of the world, including Ivindo National Park, located in east-central Gabon, Africa and Dzanga-Ndoki National Park, Central African Republic The United States has many programs to re-populate bongos into the wild, including Walt Disney’s Animal Kingdom supported by the American Association of Zoological Parks (Bongo SSP). They have been spotted in the wild in The Congo but they are very rare. The Bongo is classified as Lower Risk (Near Threatened) by IUCN, and listed as endangered in Ghana, the bongo is at risk of extinction in parts of its range and its population trend is decreasing. The principal threats to the bongo are hunting and habitat loss, and it is Integrally Protected in the Republic of Congo.

Portrait of a Silverback Western Lowland Gorilla native to Africa. This gorilla is on the Red List of endangered species, and has been moved from the endangered list to the crtically endagered ist. The Western Lowland Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is a subspecies of the Western Gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) that lives in montane, primary, and secondary forests and lowland swamps throughout all or parts of Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Of all gorillas it is the gorilla usually found in zoos. A male Western Lowland Gorilla can stand 6 feet tall and weigh almost 450 lbs. The Western Lowland Gorilla eats plants and, occasionally, insects. They live in family groupings consisting of one dominant male, 5 to 7 adult females, children and adolescents, and possibly a few non-dominant males. Adult male Gorillas are prone to a particular form of cardiomyopathy, a degenerative heart disease. Babec, a Western Lowland Gorilla on exhibit at the Birmingham Zoo in Birmingham, Alabama (USA) was the first gorilla to receive an artificial pacemaker. The Western Lowland Gorilla is the most widespread and common gorilla, but is classified as Critically Endangered because its population had declined over 80 percent in 10 years.[citation needed] The Western Lowland Gorilla is critically endangered due to the Ebola virus and their main predators: man (poachers) and leopards.

“The Plea” is the latest in the series “Significant Faces”...I have seen her face, her expression, in many woman, but her lips were in a picture I saw last year in a fashion magazine at a friends house… those rich parted lips remained embedded in my memory….they seemed the lips of a supplicant….I should have known that I would paint those lips some day… / There are many poems titled The Plea…pleas for love. pleas to stop war, pleas to God for mercy…I decided not to include one this time…I will let you decide what her plea is all about...

“The Party” or the party goer..either way her eyes speak volumes as all the other in the series do…the party goes on…is it life…the chatter, unrhymed, no listeners, mistrust? / “You cannot read me like an open book, I’m more myself than you will ever look”, the poem states…and later “Will no one listen to my song, i shan’t be with you very long”...a lot to think about... Gouache and WAtercolour on Arches Not Paper Unrhymed, unrhythmical, the chatter goes: / Yet no one hears his own remarks as prose. / Beneath each topic tunelessly discussed / The ground-bass is reciprocal mistrust. / The names in fashion shuttling to and fro / Yield, when deciphered, messages of woe. / You cannot read me like an open book. / I’m more myself than you will ever look. / Will no one listen to my little song? / Perhaps I shan’t be with you very long. / A howl for recognition, shrill with fear, / Shakes the jam-packed apartment, but each ear / Is listening to its hearing, so none hear...Auden / The Beauty / The Star / The Night / The Disguise / The Temptation / The Quiet / The Plea / Le Maquillage / The Queen / The Masquerade / The Cameo

Virtue runs before the muse / And defies her skill, / She is rapt, and doth refuse / To wait a painter’s will. Star-adoring, occupied, / Virtue cannot bend her, / Just to please a poet’s pride, / To parade her splendor. The bard must be with good intent / No more his, but hers, / Throw away his pen and paint, / Kneel with worshippers. Then, perchance, a sunny ray / From the heaven of fire, / His lost tools may over-pay, / And better his desire R.W.Emerson I named this painting Virtue after Emerson’s poem “Loss and Gain”, in part because I think the muse has been with me throughout this series…I certainly had “good intent”...I have not had to discard any of the paintings, and all I have done so far have been posted…by now you know that I am not simply painting faces, although on one level it could be seen as such…each portrait tells a story not only of womanhood, but of life in general…they were designed to intrigue, to disturb, to make the viewer think twice about the subject and what it is trying to say…not simply a “Party” like the one before this, but more a statement of what life is or can be…”Virtue” looks out of the frame with parted lips….what is she trying to say about her life?...what does her name mean?

We see you as we see a face / That trembles in a forest place / Upon the mirror of a pool / Forever quiet, clear and cool; / And in the wayward glass, appears / To hover between smiles and tears, / Elfin and human, airy and true, / And backed by the reflected blue...Katharine by / R.L.Stevenson When this painting was finished, I could not help but think of Stevenson’s “Katharine” and her “elfin” face…this delicate “quiet and cool” beauty seems to “mirror” his “trembling face, hovering between smiles and tears”..
