Giant Otter and Orangutan

 More endangered species

Giant Otter - the main threats to this lovely animal are habitat degradation, river contamination due to mining and agriculture, over harvesting of fish and hunting for it's skin.

Orangutan - numbers have declined rapidly since the middle of the 20th century due to human activities. These include hunting, unsustainable and often illegal logging, mining and conversion of forests to agriculture.

  2. Hi Lin, I was having the hardest time leaving a comment. Finally got it to work. I just love your art. It makes me so happy. You have a way with creating animals. I think your art could be in a book. Thank you for joining FFO and have a lovely evening.

  3. What would we do if our homes were pulled down to give room for animals? Animals also have a right to live on this planet. Let us not forget that.

  5. Your faces are wonderful, Lin. Such a wonderful giant otter and orangutan. It makes me sad, though, because of the impact we humans are having on our world. Have a good week!
