South American Tapir – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the South American Tapir:
The South American Tapir – also called the Lowland or Brazilian Tapir – is the second largest tapir on the continent, after the Baird’s Tapir. They can grow to about 5.9 to 8.2 feet in length (1.8 to 2.5 m) and weigh in about 500 pounds (225 kg) These mammals inhabit jungle and forest regions, usually not far from water. They are excellent swimmers, but also move very well on land, even in rugged terrains like hills and mountains. The tapir is a herbivore. It uses its sensitive and mobile snout to get leaves, buds, shoots, and small branches that it tears from trees, fruit, grasses, and aquatic plants. It is considered endangered or vulnerable due to poaching and habitat loss.

Artist’s notes:
The South American Tapir was completed on 6/23/2009. This illustration was commissioned by a private client in Belize, and will be used for a t-shirt illustration for the National Zoo in Belize City. The drawing is a composite of a couple reference photos from my Flickr friends. This is the second tapir I’ve drawn, the other being the Malayan Tapir. In both cases the images were drawing with offspring, which I generally do not do.

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.
