Happy World Tapir day! The endangered Mountain Tapir (Tapirus pinchaque) is from Andean of Colombia, Ecuador, Northern Peru. The species is threatened by deforestation, poaching, and pollution. A few facts about this fascinating animal: Tapirs often rest in dense vegetation for most of the day They are very sure-footed, negotiating perilously steep mountain slopes with apparent ease. They are fond of wallowing in mud. 😊 They communicate by producing shrill bird-like whistles. Do you know any other facts about this animal? Reply in the comments. Come see our tapir in the South America gallery!

Prompt 7 of the #wildlifewednesdaychallenge highlighed the Endangered Chacoan Peccary, and tho I'm late, after finding such a cute picture, I just had to participate😍🤭. The Chacoan Peccary, locally known as Taguá, has a body similar to a warthog, and a bristly-looking coat. They stand at about 100cm high and weigh between 30-40kg. They are currently listed as Endangered on the Red list and have managed to have their name added to the list of Lazurus Species. That is a list of animals fortunate enough to find themselves brought back from the dead. Long thought to be extinct by Western scientists, this pig-like mammal was rediscovered in 1971. However, numbers are critically low due to habitat loss (deforestation/illegal logging), disease, and overhunting. Credit to WAWA Conservation for the info and the photo inspiration of a mother Peccary with its baby, which I've used for my #watercolour #painting This #artchallenge raises awareness of endangered species through art and is hosted by @wildlifewednesdaychallenge with @lyndabridgesart #wildlife #endangeredanimals #vulnerable #drawthechange #endangered #creatorpraise #animals  #chacoanpeccary #protectwildlife #stopillegalhunting #southamericananimals #lazarusspecies #animalsofsouthamerica #protecthabitats #draw #taguá #coolcritters #awesomeanimals #artcommunity #wildlifeart #waterpaint #enddeforestation

*Chacoan peccary* - Endangered. They live in South America - an ancient breed of peccaries which look like pigs but are scientifically very different. They mostly eat cacti - which they first deftly roll on the ground to get rid of thorns. Their main threats to survival are serious habitat loss and poaching.

Charcoal Chacoan Peccary ° ° This species was well known to the indigenous people, but was only discovered by western scientists in 1971. This is the largest peccary species and has more toes than the others. They live in herds of up to to 20 and like to eat cactus.

Golden Lion Tamarin Leontopithecus Rosalia Endemic to the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil. Lifespan- on average 17yrs Golden lions are known for their bright reddish hair and the extra long hair around their face. They spend most of their day eating fruits, nectar, bird eggs, insects and small vertebrates. Females can have up to four babies. Other females will give up their chance to breed to help raise bigger liters. They are considered an endangered species. #goldenliontamarin #goldenlion #monkeys #monkeysofinstagram #animallovers #animalfacts #naturephotography #nature #naturelovers #animalkingdom #animalrights #monkeyface #monkeytrouble #cuteanimal #babyanimals #furbabies #furbabiesofinstagram #exoticanimals #exoticpets #rainforests #brazil #southamericananimals #jungle #rainforests #babies #cute #cuteface #endagered #endageredspecies #endangeredanimals #savetheplanet

Meet Notiomastodon platensis. Despite its appearance, this is no elephant, but rather a gomphothere, a lineage of proboscideans defined by enamel-coated tusks in many species, cusped molars (similar to mastodons), smaller foreheads, and tusks in their lower jaws (for older species). Notiomastodon ruled nearly all of South America, with fossils being discovered from as north as Colombia 🇨🇴 to Brazil 🇧🇷, to Argentina 🇦🇷 and Chile🇨🇱. This huge range tells us that this was a very successful and adaptable species. They lived from the middle Pleistocene all the way up to the early Holocene, with indisputable dates of 8-11,000 years marking their extinction. These animals stood up to 2.8 m (~9 ft) at the shoulder, and had a weight of anywhere between 2-7 tons. Their tusks were straight or slightly curved upwards, and thiq, probably weighing close to, if not more than, 45 kg (100 lbs). Their teeth were the secret to their success. Being generalists allowed them to enjoy nearly all of South America’s rich greenery. Their diet shifted regionally, and possibly even seasonally; grasses, flowering plants, ferns, weeds, etc. They lived alongside so many other faunas at the time, including sloths, Smilodon, bears, pampatheres, toxodons, liptoterns, glyptotheres, caimans, anacondas, macaws, storks, and literally thousands of other birds; capybaras, tapirs, etc. Notio was probably that one guy that everyone knows or has seen, and is cool with. I felt that.

The family Megatheriidae was a pretty interesting family of sloths. It hosted not only some of the largest, but one of the smallest of the ground sloths. 1-2 : Eremotherium eomigrans and its huge hand. This species is currently only known from Florida in the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene. The second largest of thr genus. It also had 5 fingers on its hands, a primitive trait in sloths, as usually one or more digits are absent in the later sloths, like in E. laurillardi, which only has 3 digits (3-5). 3-4 : Eremotherium sefvei and speculative hand. Only known from a femur described in 1997, it might just be a juvenile or subadult of Eremotherium laurillardi. The smallest of its genus. 5-6 : Diabolotherium nordenskoldi, the smallest of the family. This species had arboreal adaptations such as joints and limbs capable of a greater range in motion than other ground sloths and hooked claws. Known from late Pleistocene Perú in the Andes and the Cupisnique Desert. 7 : Left to Right: Diabolotherium nordenskioldi, Eremotherium laurillardi, Megatherium americanum, E. eomigrans, and E. sefvei. #paleoart #art #sloth #megatherium #megafauna #megatheriumamericanum #giantsloth #groundsloth #digitalart #digital #procreate #pleistocene #holocene #iceage #eremotherium #southamericananimals #animalart #animals #animales #arte #paleoarte #artistsoninstagram #xenarthra #xenarthrans #wildlifeart #wildlife #extinct #extinctanimals #pliocene #diabolotherium

Meet Megatherium americanum, arguably the most famous and recognizable ground sloths. * They lived from the Pleistocene up until the Holocene, with some of the youngest dated fossils being around only 11,000 + years old. They inhabited the temperate grasslands, woodlands and other open habitats of southern South America, including the beautiful Pampas region. * They reached similar sizes to Eremotherium laurillardi. However, some finds of individual Eremotheres flat out trump other sloths and represent some of, if not the largest Xenarthrans ever. * Man, check out the hands on this thing! When drawing and studying sloths, one of the strangest things about them to me are their hands and feet. Megatherium is missing its “thumb” (digit I), but retained 2-5, with digit 5 being reduced to a clawless, vestigial pinkie. On digits 2-4 sat ~8-10 inch-long claws that were no joke. While, in life they, they probably were mostly used for feeding, scratching, etc., they seem like nice weaponry to defend yourself against predators like saber toothed cats (Smilodon populator), or maybe push proboscideans out the way! #paleoart #art #sloth #megatherium #megafauna #megatheriumamericanum #giantsloth #groundsloth #digitalart #digital #procreate #pleistocene #holocene #iceage #pampas #southamericananimals #animalart #animals #animales #arte #paleoarte #artistsoninstagram #xenarthra #xenarthrans #wildlifeart #wildlife #extinct #extinctanimals

CHACOAN PECCARY – WORLD LAND TRUST “Peccaries are the one of the most important sources of bush meat in the areas in which they are found. This is despite the fact that hunting the species within Paraguay is illegal. The danger from hunting is made worse by Chacoan Peccaries standing their ground when faced with a threat rather than running away. Populations of Chacoan Peccaries are in serious decline. Numbers are estimated to have shrunk by as much as 50% over three generations. This is due to the combined threats of habitat loss mostly from land cleared to make way for soybean agriculture and cattle ranching, and over-hunting.” – LIVING DESERT “Until recently, this species was known to science only through fossil remains. The first modern-day sightings of live Chacoan peccaries in Paraguay were reported in 1972.” San Diego Zoo #sandiegozoo #chacoanpeccary #peccary #cuteanimal #endangeredanimal #southamericananimals #hoofedmammal

And now, he makes his debut on my page. 🌱 ——— 📍Taken at: @tierpark_hagenbeck #tierparkhagenbeck 📸 Gear: @canonnederland 90D & @canondeutschland 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 ⚙️ Settings: 1/640 sec, f/5.6, ISO 800 ~hashtags~ #animalconservation #animalgram #animalswildlife #animalsofig #natgeowildlife #bbcwildlife #wildlifewonder #wildlifecaptures #wildlifeimages #wildlifephotographer #naturewildlife #rodentphotography #rodent #rodents #rodentsofinstagram #largerodents #dillaby #patagonianmara #marasofinstagram #southamericanwildlife #southamericananimals #animalsofsouthamerica #patagonianwildlife #patagoniaargentina #wildlifeportrait #animalportrait

Curl-crested Araciri - Another cute bird that I had not heard of before and immediately loved it as soon as I saw its photo to paint it for #birbfest2024 challenge. This bird belongs to the toucan family and has beautiful curled glossy feathers on its crown. These birds are found in parts of Bolivia, Brazil, Peru in the tropical moist forests. They are omnivores and eat mainly fruits but sometimes eat eggs and nestlings. They are social birds and quite popular as pets. I really enjoyed learning about this pretty bird! Thank you @monkeymintaka for your wonderful challenge (and @birdietam.art for the prompts)! All my animals this year - #jayashreeanimals2024 Swipe to see its close up. #curlcrestedaracari #toucansofinstagram #toucans #southamericananimals #birbfest #birdartwork #birdartist #birdsofinstagram #birdpainting #birddrawing #birdillustration #birdlovers #animalart #artistsoninstagram #wildlifeart #birdpaintings #watercolorpainting #birdartists #animalartwork #watercoloryourday #birdartofinstagram #natureart #watercolorart #doodlewashjanuary2024 #worldwatercolorgroup #marylandartists #marylandartist #wildlifewatercolor
