Hey by dnlddean
aclics on plywood sometimes its cool to show the dramma of the wild but sometimes its cool to show the cute side and there is nothing more cute than a cub but there is as always a seriose message in all my work as the the delicacy and balnce of these beautiful creatures when i see these animals and i use the term genericaly i cannot believe that man in all his so called wisdom can truly allow these creatures to disapear if we do what dose that say about us as a species i have been lucky enough to see these wonderful cats in there native wild and free surroundings but for how much longer we turned the tide on wearing animal skins made poeple realise that the skin looked better on the animal than on some stupid humans back but now poeple are starting to find it cool again to wear fur and the fur industry is growing again the cannadian government is allowing more seal cub hunting truly how can anyone wear a seal skin coat when you see some moron clubing it to death with a lump of wood and a nail sticking out the end they dont even waite foir it to die befor they start to skin it yes as shakespear wrote WHAT A PIECE OF WORK IS MAN” YEAH” but poaching of cats is not the problem the problem is man encroahing more and more into the cats sanctuary and the belief that man should lord it over all other species on the planet

"Survivors" - Oil Painting by Avril Brand
“Survivors” is an oil painting showing two orphaned cheetah cubs from Namibia who were rescued soon after their mother was trapped by a farmer. Their little faces depict the sadness, fear and uncertainty the future holds for them. Original oil painting on canvas: 20×30 inches Cheetahs are the fastest land animals on earth, reaching speeds of up to 100 kph (70mph). Beautiful and sleek, they are the smallest of the big cats and their prey is often stolen by other predators. Highly threatened, these animals are in great need of protection. They need plenty of space for hunting and that space is steadily being reduced by human expansion. Out of all the big cats, the cheetah is the least able to adapt to new environments. It has always proved difficult to breed in captivity, although recently a few zoos have managed to succeed at this. Once widely hunted for its fur, the cheetah now suffers more from the loss of both habitat and prey.

Thumbsucker by Alex Cearns
A baby orangutan sucking its thumb. This critically endangered species demonstrates significant intelligence, with an ability to reason and think. The orangutan is closest relatives, sharing 97% of the same DNA as humans. I’ve been to Borneo (Dec 2007) and was shocked at the amount of jungle cleared to make way for palm oil plantations. Close your eyes, and imagine flying into Sandakan on the east coast – as far as you can see there are rows upon rows of palm trees. Rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. Then more rows upon rows. “Orangutans are one of the most critically endangered of the great apes, due to poaching and habitat loss. Based on the World Bank’s estimation that mechanized logging in the Kalimantan forest, (Indonesian Borneo), will result in its total loss by 2010, and other statistics stating that wild orangutans are disappearing at a rate of 5,000 orangutans per year, optimistic predictions give the orangutan ten more years before extinction in the wild.” (Source: Borneo Orangutan Survival UK http://www.savetheorangutan.co.uk/index.php) Taken with Canon 5D, ISO 1250, f5.6, 1/50th sec, 100-400mm L Series Canon Lens @ 400mm, handheld, no flash, Auto white balance. No post production.

Majestic by BigD
“The mammal is a Markhor. My camera is a Rebel XTi 400D and 70-200mm lens. I took two photos to make one. The Markhor was at the Syrcause Zoo. / The Markhor (Capra falconeri) is a goat-antelope found in sparse woodland in the Western Himalayas. Markhor stand 65 to 115 centimetres (26 to 45 in) at the shoulder and weigh from 40 to 110 kilograms (88 to 240 lb). Females are tan in colour with a white underbelly and a pattern of black and white on the legs. Males have a lighter tan colour with the same white underbelly and pattern on the legs, as well as a black face and a large amount of long shaggy white fur on their neck and chest which can grow to knee-length. Both sexes have corkscrew-shaped horns which can grow up to 160 centimetres (63 in) long in males, and up to 25 centimetres (9.8 in) in females. Markhor are found at altitudes of 500 to 3,500 metres (1,600 to 11,000 ft) where they eat grass, leaves, and whatever other vegetative matter they can find, often standing on their hind legs to reach the top leaves of trees. Markhor are crepuscular, active in the early morning and late afternoon. Females gather in herds of up to nine individuals and males are normally solitary. During mating season, males fight each other for the attention of females. These fights involve lunging until the two males’ horns are locked together, and then twisting and pushing until one male falls. Markhor sound much like the domestic goat. The animal is largely found in the Northern Areas of Pakistan especially in Chitral, Ghizar and Hunza regions. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources has classified the Markhor as an endangered species, meaning it is in danger of facing extinction in the near future if conservation efforts are not maintained. Numbers between 2,000 and 4,000 exist in the wild. The Markhor is officially the National animal of Pakistan.” Wikipedia Encyclopedia

Mouth of a killer...beware! by starbucksgirl26
So she was about 2 months old here, and if I remember correctly just starting to get her molars in. During her teething she would suck on anyone’s fingers, hands, arms…whatever to try and ease the pain a bit. I have another photo of her latched onto my arms and sucking on my wrist that I will post up for enjoyment, it isn’t so much for quality.

About This Group
A group for images of all non-domesticated mammals, captive or wild.
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 Mammals 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.”
