    Amur leopard snarling. Captive animal. / / Amur leopard, only 33 are left in the wild, more precious than its weight in 24 karat gold! / / / TIP JAR: IF YOU LIKE MY WORK SUPPORT ME WITH ANY AMOUNT YOU WISH / / RAFFLE ITEMS HERE / / Part of my NEW SIGNATURE SERIES that utilizes the painterly effects of photoshop combined with the emotive scenes of the natural world to create a visual feast for all discriminating art lovers! Because of the signature this line will not be available as cards, I apologize about this but I have the same shots available for purchase as cards but without a signature. They can be located by browsing my portfolio. / / The AMUR leopard is rarely found in cold or high-elevation environments and is best known in its more familiar home in the savannas of Africa, where populations are relatively stable. However, in the northernmost part of its range, a rare subspecies of this cat lives in the temperate forests and harsh winters of the Russian Far East. This is the Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis), also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard or the Korean leopard. IUCN’s 2000 Red List of Threatened Species classifies the subspecies as Critically Endangered, and the CITES has listed it on Appendix I. In 1998, the Russian government adopted a strategy for the conservation of the Amur leopard. WWF is supporting anti-poaching activities in the Barsovy wildlife refuge, as well within the whole leopard habitat in the Russian Far East. The organization is also implementing programmes to stop the traffic in Amur leopard parts and to increase the population of prey ungulate (hoofed) species in the leopard’s habitat. WWF staff are also monitoring the leopard population and its habitat. The Amur leopard has some very distinguishing features. The hairs of its summer pelt are 2.5 cm long but in winter they are replaced by 7 cm long ones. Apart from its long winter coat, the Amur leopard is easily told apart from other leopard subspecies by its widely spaced rosettes with thick borders. It also has longer legs, probably an adaptation for walking through snow. The Amur leopard is habitually nocturnal and solitary. Nimble-footed and strong, it carries and hides unfinished kills so that they are not taken by other predators. Adult males: 32-48 kg, exceptionally large males weigh up to 75 kg. Females: 25-43 kg. Light colour in the winter, more reddish-yellow in the summer. Major habitat type: Temperate Broadleaf and Mixed Forests / Range States: Russia, China, probably North Korea Geographical Location: South of the Far East-Primorskii region (Russian Far East), Tzilin, Heilundzyan Provinces (Northern China). Ecological Region: Russian Far East Temperate Forests Interesting Fact: The Amur leopard has been reported to leap more than 6 m horizontally and more than 3 m vertically. Fewer than 40 left in the wild

  • The Night Healer by coppertrees

    This was done by hand in inks and charcoal,I edited it in Photoshop. Voices of the Endangered If I wandered, off alone, / Would you notice I was gone? / Would you see what I have seen? / If I wandered off the scene / Would you even think of me? In all the mountains I have roamed / Sat high and called to all my own / If I wandered, off alone / Would you notice I have gone? When through the silence of the night / Through the shadows of moonlight / Will you search to hear my plea? / Will you even think of me? Like the others I have known / Who no longer here, do roam? / In the darkness of the night / Do you feel my heart in flight? If I, were never more to roam, / You would be standing here, / all alone. Vickie Bodie Nights call as his voice reaches out and tones the night all is quiet.

  • The Eyes Have It! by Robyn Carter

    Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur – Critically Endangered because of fire and poaching. The Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur (Hapalemur alaotrensis), also known as the Alaotran Gentle Lemur or locally as the Bandro, is a bamboo lemur. It is endemic to the reed beds in and around Lac Alaotra, in northeast Madagascar. The Alaotran Lemur is the only primate specifically adapted to living in papyrus reeds. Unlike other bamboo lemurs, the Lac Alaotra Gentle Lemur does not eat bamboo, instead, it feeds on the papyrus reeds of its habitat.[citation needed] Its tail and body are both 40 cm on average, and weighs between 1.1 and 1.4 kg, with males slightly larger than females] Its dense woolly fur is a gray-brown on its back, lighter gray on its face and chest, with its head and neck chestnut brown..

  • You’ve got 3 seconds… by elanusphotos

    …and then I’m off. I stumbled on this Black-flanked Rock-Wallaby (_Petrogale lateralis _) half way up a rocky knoll near Mount Eaglebeak in the Eastern MacDonnell Ranges, central Australia. It was a good day because I found a family of Dusky Grasswrens and saw Little Woodswallows at the same place! This Rock-wallaby is very important for many of the Arrernte people who live around Hart’s Range and Mount Eaglebeak for whom it has spiritual significance.

About This Group

A group for images of all non-domesticated animals, captive or wild.

Our avatar is Rhino by Antea.

Please note the following guidelines:

– Please only upload your BEST work so we can keep the quality high. Not every photo needs to be included in a group; pick wisely so that you can showcase the very best. We reserve the right to delete images that are not up to our standard. This is subjective, please do not complain as decisions are final.

– Any kind of Exotic Mammal artwork is acceptable – photography, painting, digital artwork, etc.

– Please only upload ONE per day maximum. If you upload more than this daily, any additional works will be removed and a bubblemail sent. If you continue to upload more than the daily limit, you will be removed from the group.

– No offensive images of animals to be posted – this includes no photos of dead animals.

– Exotic Animals currently refers to all NON domesticated animals. No pets or domesticated species such as sheep and cows are allowed. No birds, reptiles, amphibians, or Insect photos as they now have their own groups! Additionally, please refrain from uploading images of animals and humans, as there is a separate group for that kind of work as well.

– Lastly and importantly, this group is for you to display your BEST work. Although work featuring captive animals is acceptable, work featuring obvious signs of captivity (such as bars on a cage) is generally discouraged and may be removed at the moderators’ discretion. Exceptions will be made if the cage and surroundings are a part of the overall statement of the artwork as specified in the image’s description.”
