Two pieces of good news for the Rhinos: a baby Javan Rhino (the most endangered) has been born!

Also, a two-year-old white rhino had a successful surgery on her broken foot.

Hello! I'm so proud to finally present you the artwork with all the Perissodactyla order including its subspecies (Rhinos, Tapirs, and Horses). Took me more than a year to finish but I am really happy with the result. The artwork includes the common name, its Latin name, and its conservation status. 46 animals in total of which 10 are sadly already extinct.

Thank you for your support!

The Critical Javan Rhinoceros - 8 x 10 - Acrylic on Canvas

Stay up-to-date on critically endangered species! The Javan Rhinoceros numbers continue to dwindle despite conservation efforts due to the animals' temperament both in and out of captivity. Fortunately, a calf was photographed in the wild just recently, giving many hope!

Javan rhinoceros! Once, they lived from northeast India to Southeast Asia - today they are one of the most endangered land mammals, with under 80 individuals left in Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

Abigail Rorer

I have long been a fan of the work of Massachusetts wood engraver, letterpress printer, and book artist Abigail Rorer (b. 1949). A former student of Barry Moser and inspired by the work of Leonard Baskin, Rorer is a part of what I call the Pioneer Valley School of artists, an interconnected group of artists and artisans who live, work, or trained in the Connecticut River valley region of western Massachusetts, centered in the Amherst/Northampton area.

I am particularly interested in Rorer's attention to detail, precision of mark making, and her fine lines, all of which are evident in this lovely engraving of a Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus). The original, signed print is one of several prints included in the Wood Engravers' Network (WEN) 2022 Printers Bundles sent in the fall to WEN members along with that year's issue of the society's journal Block & Burin. An over 20-year run of both the journal and the bundles was recently donated to Special Collections by Wisconsin WEN member Tony Drehfal.

I selected this print to post not only because Rorer is one of my favorite wood engravers, but also because the rhinoceros is my very favorite mammal (they are exquisite and beautiful!) and it pains me how endangered all species of rhinos are around the world. This print may become among last visual representations of this magnificent being before it is erased from our planet, or more hopefully, it may be one of the images that marks the revival of Rhinocerotidae.

The Indian Javan Rhinoceros was often mistaken for the Greater one-horned Rhinoceros due to their coexistence in the 19th century. This can't happen to you. Join the club Here to learn more about animals. By the way, this is the only existing illustration of this animal.

The Javan Rhinoceros: A Critically Endangered Mammal

Each species on Earth has a unique role in the environment, and their extinction can have a huge impact on both the environment and other species.

Ok but like every time I visit the Wikipedia page for one of the classic endangered animals it's almost always like "populations have increased by 20% in the last decade" and idk it really makes me feel like maybe things are gonna get better

Creature Awaits #212

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

The Javan Rhino

Scientific Name: Rhinoceros sondaicus

Region: While their range used to spread from Bhutan and far east India southward through Java, Indonesia, they now only exist in a tiny region of western Java.

Size: About 10' (3m) long and 4.6'–5.6' (1.4m–1.7m) tall at the shoulder

Interesting Notes: Sadly, rarest of all 5 species of Rhinoceros, only about 60-70 are thought to be left in the wild - all located within the Ujung Kulon National Park in Java. They are so endangered that even scientists will rarely seek them out for study as they do not want to risk interfering as they, hopefully, start to regrow their populations. It's also a tricky situation as they do not hold up well in captivity - with the oldest attempted captive rhino living only to age 20, and none ever being able to breed. However, it's not all sad news… Thankfully, very strict conservation laws are finally in place for them, and they do appear to still be breeding in the wild as two adults walking alongside their calves were caught on a motion-triggered camera, so hopefully someday they will thrive again.
