Baird’s Tapir – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Baird’s Tapir:
The Baird’s Tapir is one of four extant species of tapir on earth, and the largest of the three species in Latin America. It is named for the noted American naturalist Spencer Fullerton Baird, who was in Mexico in 1843 and observed them. However, the animal was in fact first described by another American naturalist W.T. White. The Baird’s Tapir is found in the dense tropical jungles of Central America. They are herbivores, feeding mostly on fruit, berries, and leaves, which they hunt for and grab using their prehensile snout. All four species of tapir are considered endangered or vulnerable.

Artist’ Notes
The Baird’s Tapir was completed on 6/23/2009.4.3.2011. This drawing was commissioned by a private client in Belize. While I enjoy drawing nearly all rainforest animals, I was a little chagrined to learn that after I had completed a drawing of a South American Tapir, the species that was actually requested this species instead. But with this, I’ve completed 3 of the 4 living species of Tapir. The drawing is based on a photo by Christian Sperka.

Margay – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Margay:
The Margay is a smaller member of the feline family. It is native to southern North America, down through much of Central America and most of South America. Like many other species of cat, the Margay is a solitary hunter. It prefers remote sections of very dense tropical and subtropical rainforests and cloudforests. It looks similar to the Ocelot, but the head is a little smaller with longer legs and tail. The cat weighs from 5.7 to 8.8 pounds (2.6 to 4 kilograms), with a body length of 19 to 31 inches (48 to 79 centimeters), and a tail length of 13 to 20 in (33 to 51 centimeters.) Because of unregulated hunting and habitat loss this cat is considered endangered by some environmental groups.
