Launching next week... a red capped robin - with a nod to 🎄 ❤️ #pingame #redcappedrobin #australianbirds
Day 4 of #endangeredanimalsweek is the Hawksbill Sea Turtle, “Though hawksbills are widely distributed, the IUCN lists them as critically endangered, with an estimated population of fewer than 25,000 nesting females across their range in the tropics. Right: Nearly nine million hawksbill sea turtles were hunted between 1844 and 1992, researchers say.” (From @natgeo ) #endangeredanimals #hawksbillturtle
Day 3 of #endangeredanimalsweek - the Amur Leopard, critically endangered with only around 80 left in the wild. “People usually think of leopards in the savannas of Africa but in the Russian Far East, a rare subspecies has adapted to life in the temperate forests that make up the northern-most part of the species’ range. Similar to other leopards, the Amur leopard can run at speeds of up to 37 miles per hour. This incredible animal has been reported to leap more than 19 feet horizontally and up to 10 feet vertically.” (From the wwf). We’ve been loving seeing the art from across the world for this project, but also so sad at the overwhelm learning about even more threatened and endangered animals I hadn’t heard of. #endangeredweek #amurleopard
Thank you for the #etsy sock orders! I’ve been loving sending them all over from Fitzroy neighbours to the US - and been madly stickering the test ready for the @bigdesignmarket - I took some for a spin to Melbourne Museum awhile ago and then realised sock photos are TRICKY to take! #bigdesignmaket #socksofinstagram 🌈😅
Day two of #endangeredanimalsweek and an animal I had never heard of before, I’m afraid! A Vaquita. These critically endangered beauties (only an estimated 6 to 22 alive) are the rarest marine mammal threatened by illegal netting and fishing, found in the Gulf of California near Mexico 😢 #vaquita #endangeredweek
#endangeredanimalsweek is upon us, sharing illustrations of some amazing and very threatened creatures. (You can see the list of animals and join in by looking at my frog post!). First, the Pangolin - “Pangolins are threatened by poaching (for their meat and scales) and heavy deforestation of their natural habitats, and are the most trafficked mammals in the world. Of the eight species of pangolin, four (Phataginus tetradactyla, P. tricuspis, Smutsia gigantea, and S. temminckii) are listed as vulnerable, two (Manis crassicaudata and M. culionensis) are listed as endangered, and two (M. pentadactyla and M. javanica) are listed as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species (Wikipedia). #endangeredweek #pangolin ps there are some wonderful artists participating - check out the hashtag as the week progresses to see all the interpretations 🌈❤️
