$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Cuban Crocodile:
The Cuban Crocodile is a highly endangered reptile native to freshwater swamps of a very few isolated areas in Cuba’s Zapata Swamp and the Isle of Youth. The characteristics of this large reptile sets it apart from the other crocodilian species, such as having bright coloration as an adult, pebbled scales and the long strong legs. They usually grow to be about 6.9–7.5 feet (2.1–2.3 meters) in length and weigh 150–180 pounds (70–80 kilograms.) While they are not nearly the largest species of crocodile, they do have the reputation as being one of the most aggressive. Crocodylus rhombifer prefers freshwater swamps, marshes and rivers, but it will occasionally swim into saltwater. It feeds on small fish, crustaceans and arthropods. Because of overhunting and habitat loss the species is considered critically endangered in the wild and it’s future remains very uncertain.

Artist’s notes:
The Cuban Crocodile was completed on 4.6.2013. After drawing a few of these impressive reptiles, I decided to look into how many more species I’d have to draw to render all extant crocodilian species. I was surprised to learn there were only 23 total, so I had a good start. Crocodylus rhombifer is species number 9, so only 14 more to go! The drawing is based on a photo by Bo Jonsson.

Olive Ridley Sea Turtle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle:
The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle - also called the Pacific Ridley Sea Turtle - is considered the most abundant sea turtle on the planet. These reptiles get their name from the coloring of their heart-shaped shell, which starts out gray but becomes olive green later in life. There may be more than one million in the world's oceans today. Compared to other sea turtle species adults are relatively small, weighing on average around 100 pounds (45 kg). Olive Ridleys can be seen at nesting sites on beaches all around the planet, generally in tropical and subtropical areas. When the females are getting ready to nest, its believed they use the wind and the tide to help them find the beach. Females will lay about a hundred eggs, and may nest 1-3 times a year. Olive Ridleys are mostly carnivorous, feeding on such creatures as jellyfish as well as small crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp. It is the only living species not considered to be endangered - although it is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as vulnerable.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
