Golden Takin – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Golden Takin:
The Golden Takin is an endangered goat-antelope native to the Peoples Republic of China & Bhutan. Takins are adapted to staying warm and dry during winters in the Himalayan Mountain regions they inhabit. A thick, secondary coat is grown to keep out the cold. Their large, moose-like snout has large sinus cavities that warm up the air a takin inhales which prevents the loss of body heat by breathing. Although they have no skin glands, their skin secretes an oily substance that provides a water barrier that protects takins from the elements. They are around the same size as a cow and are very aggressive. Its skin is also said to be the source of the legend of the Golden Fleece.

Artist’s notes:
The Golden Takin was completed on 9.4.2014. I’m putting together a collage of some of the more endangered wildlife of Asia, specifically China. I was struck by the anatomy of these wonderful ungulates, and knew that they would have to be part of the collage. I found a great reference photo by A.J. Haverkamp (check out his Flickr Photostream) who allowed me to create this drawing based on it. I tend to want to show the goats with young so I dropped in the baby Takin.

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.
