Columbia Mammoth – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Columbia Mammoth:
The Columbia Mammoth is an extinct mammal that was native to much of North America down into Central America. This large elephant was part of North America's "Megafauna" (which are very large land animals) much of which went extinct some 9,000 years ago. There is some discussion as to why these large land animals, along with others, went extinct, but it is believed a series of events such as climate change, the arrival of humans into their range along with perhaps a small meteor striking the earth might have been the cause of their demise. The Columbia Mammoth was the largest of the mammoths and the largest elephants ever to have lived, measuring 13 feet (4 meters) tall and weighing up to 11 short tons (10 metric tons.) It was 10.7 feet (3.3 meters) long at the shoulder, and had a giant head that accounted for 12 to 25 percent of its body weight. The tusks were impressive too, and could grow to be longer than 6 feet (two meters) It was a herbivore, and likely fed on a variety of different types of plants and perhaps even fruits. The Columbia Mammoth is the state fossil of both Washington and Nebraska state.

Yellow-Footed Rock-Wallaby – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby:
The Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby - formerly called the Ringtailed Wallaby - is a member of the macropod family, which is the family or marsupial which includes kangaroos, wallabies, tree-kangaroos, and wallaroos. These animals are found in a very small area of New South Wales in Australia. As the name implies, this wallaby tends to favor rocky outcrops, usually as far from human habitation as possible. The discovery of this species was fairly recent, and was recorded for the first time in 1964. In 1979 the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife purchased 100 square kilometers of this land, which then became Coturaundee Nature Reserve. This areas is protected for the conservation and protection of the yellow-footed rock-wallaby. Part of the allocated fund were used to removed non-native species that have established themselves there, such as fox and goat.

Ancient Bison – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Ancient Bison:
The Ancient Bison is an extinct mammal that was native to the North American continent. It was one of the most widespread of the herbivores and is the most common member of the order mammalia found at the noted La Brea Tar Pits in southern California. During the late Pleistocene era (240,000 and 220,000 years ago) the species Bison priscus migrated from Siberia and to Alaska, and eventually was replaced in mid North America by Bison latifrons. Antique bison branched out and existed until around ten thousand years ago. The modern Bison came from this species. Larger than the modern bison by 15-20 percent, the antique bison had horns that could reach a length of up to three feet. There has been much speculation as to why this species went extinct, although recent theories point to climate change as one of the major causes. Buy a Digital Download

American Lion – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the American Lion:
The American Lion (also called the Naegele's giant jaguar or American cave lion) is an extinct mammal that was native to the North American continent, going extinct roughly . It is a member of the family Felidae. It was native to northwestern South America during the Pleistocene epoch (0.34 million years ago to 11,000 years ago), existing for approximately 0.33 million years. It has been shown by genetic analysis to be a sister lineage to the Eurasian cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea or P. spelaea). It was one of the largest types of cat ever to have existed, slightly larger than the Early Middle Pleistocene primitive cave lion, P. leo fossilis and about 1/4 larger than the modern African lion The head-body length of the American lion is estimated to have been 5 ft 3 in–8 ft 2 inches (1.6–2.5 meters) and it would have stood 4 feet (1.2 meters) at the shoulder. While large, it was not the largest predator at the time - which was the Short-Faced Bear. It was not as heavy as the Saber-Tooth Cat, it was generally larger. Approximately one hundred specimens of American lions have been recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits, in Los Angeles, so their body structure is well known. Unlike their African relatives, the climate they lived in was colder and therefore like modern mountain lions they took refuge in caves. They are thought to have gone extinct about 10-15,000 years ago.

Kiang – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Kiang:
The Kiangis - also called the Tibetan wild ass, khyang, and gorkhar - is the largest of the wild asses. It is native to the Tibetan Plateau, where it inhabits montane and alpine grasslands. Its current range is restricted to Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, plains of the Tibetan plateau and northern Nepal along the Tibetan border. Kiangs are found on the Tibetan plateau, between the Himalayas in the south and the Kunlun Mountains in the north. This restricts them almost entirely to China, but small number are found across the borders in the Ladakh and Sikkim regions of India, and along the northern frontier of Nepal. Like all equids, kiangs are herbivores, feeding on grasses and sedges, especially Stipa, but also including other local plants such as bog sedges, Carex, and meadow grass.

Indochinese Tiger – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Indochinese Tiger:
The Indochinese Tiger is a subspecies of tiger native to the the secluded, hilly tropical jungles of Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Panthera tigris corbetti is named in honor of Jim Corbett - who was a British hunter, conservationist and author. It is a highly endangered animal with a wild population estimated to be around only 1200-1800 individuals. The average male Indochinese tiger measures about nine feet long (2.55 to 2.85 meters) weighing about 330-430 pounds (150 to 195 kilograms), although larger animals can tip the scales at over 500 pounds (250 kg). The tiger's skull measures between 13-14 inches (319 to 365 millimeters) in length. Like all tiger species they are threatened by poaching and habitat loss, although the governments of some of the Southeast Asian nations have set aside some natural areas to help protect these endangered animals.

Tasmanian Devil – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Tasmanian Devil:
The Tasmanian Devil is a carnivorous mammal native to the Australian island of Tasmania. When the Thylacine when extinct in 1936 it became the world's largest carnivorous marsupial. It is roughly the size of a small dog, weighing about 18 pounds (8 kg.) Males are usually a little larger than the females. At this time they are only found on the island of Tasmania, although it in the past they were known to inhabit some of the smaller islands nearby. They Tasmanian Devil is mostly nocturnal, hunting for prey around the twilight hours. They do, however, like to sun bathe and are often observed laying on their bellies during the daylight hours. They are good hunters and can take down prey larger than themselves such as smaller kangaroo. They prefer to eat wombats though, but will also feed on roadkill should they find it. Due to habitat loss and an aggressive disease that is nearly always fatal the Tasmanian Devil's numbers in the wild have dropped precipitously and are now considered endangered.

Javan Rhinoceros – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Javan Rhinoceros:
The Javan or Sunda Rhinoceros is one of only 5 extant species of rhinoceros. Of these this animal is thought to be the most rare. Once the most widespread of the Asian rhinos, hunting, wars and habitat loss have reduced their numbers to a handful, and only by extensive conservation efforts has the species been saved - at least temporarily - from extinction. There are no known species living in any of the world's zoos. These large land animals traditionally inhabited lowland rainforest, wet grasslands and flood plains.

Short-Beaked Echidna – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Short-Beaked Echidna:
The Short-Beaked Echidna is one of four extant species of echidna living in various environments in Australia - in fact it is the most widespread native animal on the continent. It is the only member of the genus Tachyglossus. It is remarkable for a few reasons. The most notable is the fact that as a monotremes, it has the unusual characteristic of being one of the few egg-laying mammals in the world. Short-beaked echidnas are usually about 12-18 inches long (30 to 45 cm) with a 3 inch snout (75 mm), and weighing between 4.4-11 pounds (2 and 5 kg.) It is sometimes called a "Spiny Anteater" although it is not closely related to other anteaters in the world. When the echnida feels threatened, it will roll itself into a ball, making use of the large spines for defense. It has a sticky tongue that it uses to catch ants and termites with, which makes up most of it's diet.
