Tynan requested a golden lion tamarin, which is a small monkey that lives in the rain forest in eastern Brazil. It’s extremely endangered—only 1,000–1,500 survive in the wild—mainly because of industrialization and cultivation of its forest habitat. Golden lion tamarins are omnivorous, eating insects, lizards, and fruit. I wonder why they’re so beautifully tangerine-colored.

Hi Jennifer
I have a creative website too.
Don’t you think it would be great to encourage as many as possible to use creativity to bring awareness to our ecological responsibility?

Good post. See also my blog on: http://todaywnews.blogspot.com/. Here you can get all the news of the world!
Wow, beautiful drawing!
Great drawings!
New animals are discovered all the time but due to the rate of habitat destruction there will be nothing left.
Like Golden frogs of South America and Yangze Dolphins. Few people have heard about them now they are extinct. Next on the line are Cod, Tuna and Polar bears.
Great drawings by the way. I trying to force myself to draw at least two drawings at once. They take so long to do and plus I have other things to do. It’s great you can manage a drawing a day. There a similar blogs out there who post a image a day.
Hey, just found out about this today . . . what a crazy cool project! I wish you the best!

Your use of colour forces me to look at all of these animals as if seeing them for the first time. Thank you.
Thanks for all your great feedback, everyone! And thanks for visiting my site!
Redrose: I love Przewalski’s horse, too! Some of my favorites I’m putting off drawing so I won’t draw them all in the first couple of years and then be stick with a bunch of rodents I’ve never heard of.
Ish…banana: I haven’t seen the Golden Compass movie, and it was years ago that I read the book, so I don’t remember the tamarin. I assume it was someone’s daemon? That would be a good daemon to have.
Editor: Wow, thank you SO MUCH for that!
All your drawings are so beautiful! I love the vibrant color on this one.
Really nice!
