Bengal Tiger - Blog Posts
I´m sorry everybody, something happened with my page. I was doing some modifications and apparently I erase all the photos I posted. Well now I have work to do and repost all of them :(
So while working on some drawings, here I’ll post some pictures for you. Again.
See more pictures in my deviant account: seirykun.deviantart.com/ or here: the-world-of-mitsuki.tumblr.co…
How not to hunt a Gaur. No tigers were (seriously) hurt. This sub-adult male tiger mock-attacked this Gaur before receiving a strong kick to the shoulder. The kick was so quick, I didn't realise it had happened until I checked the photos later, never mind that I had caught it on camera. Maybe he'll think twice before tackling a Gaur again!

Introducing an updated illustrated poster featuring all the tigers of the world! While it was once believed that there were nine subspecies of tigers, recent scientific research has shown that there are actually only two: those that live on the continent and those that reside on islands. However, within these two subspecies, there are various populations of tigers that were previously classified as distinct subspecies. Creating this poster was a labor of love that required a significant amount of time and effort. Some of the animals featured on the poster were particularly challenging to illustrate due to their extinction, which meant there was limited photographic evidence available to use as a reference. I am thrilled with the final product and hope that others will appreciate the attention to detail and care that went into each illustration.

Working on this one was a real challenge. There are just a few blurry photographs of this animal before its extinction in the 50s, so I had to recreate its features based on written descriptions and the Sumatran Tiger photographs which are its closest relative. I believe I did a great job and I can proudly say this is one of the best illustrations of the Bali Tiger you can find.
Bali Tiger This animal owes its extinction exclusively to humans. It was exterminated in order to make the land habitable for humans in the 1940s. Finally in the 1950s was declared extinct. This tiger form belongs to the second subspecies of tiger (sondaica, the one that lives in islands), along with the Javan Tiger which is also extinct, and the Sumatran Tiger, the only survivor. There is some hope that this animal might still survive in Bali because there are a lot of unexplored lands that haven't been studied. However, is already 70 years since its last sight. It is upsetting that an animal was brought to extinction on purpose. And a loved one. What concerns me the most is that if this can happen to an animal that we all love and care about, imagine those that we don't know or we don't care much about.
I care about animals and I want to do something to protect them. And I think of this project as a way to help. If we know the animals we share the world with more, we are more likely to feel about them and protect them. You can help too by sharing this project.

Working on this one took me forever. I’m very happy with the result though because I wanted a pose that portrays the animal with majesty and power.
Bengal Tiger
If you ever saw a tiger, 90% of the chances are that you saw a Bengal Tiger. It is the most famous and probably the one that has inspired us the most. The versatility that the tiger has to propel the imagination of humans is unmeasurable. From a cruel villain to a magnificent god, its charisma and beauty have made us dream for centuries, and are now just part of the whole human culture, regardless of nationality.
It is also the popular white tiger which is nothing but a lack of melanin, the pigment in charge of giving us color. Less popular but equally magnificent and extremely rare is the golden tiger which can be seen just in captivity. A problem! if you ask me because this means that has been humanly altered genetically to get the color. There is also the black tiger, which is not completely black. Its black stripes are thicker making the orange color less visible. However, there are some reports stating that completely black tigers have been spotted in the wild. No photographs have been taken though.
India primordially is its homeland but now it can also be seen more often than in the wild in the backyards of United States homes. __________________________________________________ Credits: Felids and Hyenas of the World: Wildcats, Panthers, Lynx, Pumas, Ocelots, Caracals, and Relatives.
