Central American Red Brocket The Central American red brocket has had a bit of a taxonomic identity crisis. First described in 1827 as Cervus temama, it was then misidentified for over a century — scientists lumped it in with the South American Mazama americana, labeling it a mere subspecies. Imagine being your own species and no one believing you! It wasn’t until the 2000s, when DNA tests, chromosome counts, and a good, hard look at its bones came in, that scientists finally said, “Oops, our bad — you’re actually Mazama temama.” So yes, this deer is basically the Cinderella of brockets: overlooked, misnamed, and now finally recognized for who it really is.

New sticker album drop! 🦏🐎🦓

I’ve just released a project that’s close to my heart—a sticker album featuring all known species and subspecies of the Perissodactyl order: rhinos, tapirs, horses, zebras. Every animal is illustrated and comes with fascinating facts about their habitat, conservation status, and more.

It’s fun, educational, and made to spark curiosity about our world—because we need more things like that out there.

🛒 Limited copies available now in my webstore (album + stickers included!) 👉 Sticker Album

Thank you for supporting meaningful, handmade projects like this one 💛

Turkmenian Kulan Ever heard of a wild ass that outruns jeeps and survives in places where even camels complain? Meet the Turkmenian kulan, a desert daredevil with a name that sounds like a punchline but belongs to one of Central Asia’s toughest mammals. With serious speed, serious stamina, and zero interest in being tamed, this wild ass is a master of dry-land survival—and yes, "kulan" really does mean wild ass in Turkic.

🌿 Who is the Central American Tigrina? This tiny wild cat (Leopardus tigrinus centralis) might be a subspecies… or a full species of its own. Some studies even link it closer to ocelots than to its supposed cousins. Mysterious, elusive, and stunningly spotted, it prowls the forests of Central America — quietly vanishing before we’ve even figured out exactly who it is. 🐾✨

The tayra, also known as the Eira barbara, is a fascinating member of the weasel family found in Central and South America's forests. Known for their agility and intelligence, tayras are adept climbers and hunters, often preying on birds, rodents, and even small mammals.

Meet the cacomistle, a nocturnal acrobat of the forests! 🌙🌿 This elusive little mammal is a cousin of raccoons, sporting big curious eyes and a striped tail that would make a fashion model jealous. It can climb like a pro and twist its ankles 180 degrees to scamper down trees headfirst—because why take the normal route? 🤸‍♂️

A new animal has been unveiled—one of the forest’s best-kept secrets: the Northern Olingo!

A member of the Procyonidae family (which includes the well-known raccoons and coatis), the olingo stands out with its elusive nature. Little is known about its behavior in the wild, making it a true mystery of the treetops.

I’m excited to share that this illustration is sponsored by [sponsor name] and [park name], a fantastic place to spot and photograph this rare creature.

A new animal was unveiled: the Javan Tiger. This is great news. The Javan Tiger was declared extinct in 2008, and there has been no sight of the animal since 1975. However, a single hair found near a plantation in Java matches 96% with a pelt of a Javan Tiger held in a museum, giving us hope that this population might not be extinct.
