Greater and Lesser Kudu, Nyala et al

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 02:25:23 +0100

Kudu, 'greater', 'lesser', and whatever is out there along their lines.
Perhaps not quite extinct, but close enough to to be an extinction issue.
Some creatures are best off being left alone. This includes limelighting, purposely abandonment, overuse, underuse, gambits for harm, etc.

Intense Coat Rare Jaguar in Chester Zoo

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 04:01:04 +0100

Coat very dark, so dark that it has a purple hue. Supposedly/considered rare. In the Chester Zoo now.

Of course, animal caretakers accustomed to this animal and others like it, puma, mountain line, etc., know to take special precautions 24-7 as they may be more prone to escaping at night or dark hours.

White Tiger

Aside from what we hear about in martial arts circles -
Are they out here?
Recent footage from Russian aggregator dzen dot ru has one.
Is the whiteness a genetic mutation, especially an abnormality? I disagree.
For one, the concept has been around too long. Secondly, what is created is created, regardless of a blueprint with the frame of references drawn up by a few scientists.

Black Lion

Sun, 22 Jan 2023 00:38:11 +0100

There is footage of a black lion waltzing around in the countryside of Africa. Is it really black, or a very dark hue of, gray, brown, or a combination of colors?, well it's close enough to the naked eye to be called a black lion, so for now, that is what most folks are calling it.

Gone and Come Back? White Rhino

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 02:53:27 +0100

Written evening April 19 2021 EST.
Story here of a newborn white Rhino. Location in China. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2021-02-08/Baby-white-rhino-makes-public-debut-in-S-China-s-Guangdong-XHWvFveonK/index.html

Some time back in the past few years, somewhere in the ETIS web space, might have been a blog or social media, it was written that one if not the last white rhinos (lest mistaken for a different large animal) was killed during a hunt, with undertones that the fatal hunt was for monetary gain. In the post it was said, that at some point, the animal will be back.
Is this it, or one of them?- tenuous point, as the hunt was if recalled correctly in Africa, pretty large place, while the newcomer referenced was in China, Guangdong region. Plus there are probably others of the animal in different locations. When all the facts are collected, might consider putting more time in this.

Tibetan Blue Bear

Tue, 23 Jun 2020 22:27:37 +0100

Formidable animal with a moderate aggression for the kind, peaceful persona, when looking at pictures of taken of them from afar. On all fours, a full grown male could at least be as tall as a full grown basketball player. As the name implies, the region is Tibet, as well as other surrounding or nearby locations. High up in the mountains.

White Three-toed Sloth, a Name Possible

Wed, 12 Jun 2019 23:47:05 +0100

Where exactly this creature was found, is unclear from the source article.

The authors of the article discussed that the name of the animal was unknown to the locals that came upon it initially, then they decided it was some kind of sloth.
Source article in published almost one year ago Chinese: http://mini.eastday.com/a/180727131726024.html
Internet technology has sensed that the creature is a three-toed sloth, scientific name Bradypus.
However, based on the picture, this animal is white or off-white in color, and has some kind of saffron-like streak running down its back, almost like a caul.
An educated guess is that the animal could be called a White Three-toed sloth.
Another guess is that the animal might have been found in Asia, considering its source article, which then it could be called by its geographic place name, white, three-toed...
