Greater and Lesser Kudu, Nyala et al

Posted by ETIS Rare animals blog on Friday, October 13, 2023,

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

Posted by ETIS | Rare Animals on Thursday, August 10, 2023,

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

Night 6/11/2023 EST
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

Posted by ETIS | Rare Animals on Sunday, January 22, 2023,

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.

High up in the mountains.

White Three-toed Sloth, a Name Possible

Posted by ETIS - Rare Animals on Wednesday, June 12, 2019,

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...

What is the Loch Ness 'Monster' Really All About? In Consideration of this Creature.

Posted by Rare Animals at ETISworld on Wednesday, September 5, 2018,

Is it sufficient just to say a creature from the Loch Ness?
The creature in the photo her, at least it appears to be a photo, was evidently taken in the past couple of years by a man over 60 years old. The creature was sighted in Kiln, Scotland.
People are asking the question whether or noy it is a combination of creatures, such as a bird, turtle, etc., and note an elongated neck like the ostrich.
That the formation strikingly resembles pictures of the Loch Ness monster fabled from a time back,...

Pangolin

Posted by Rare animals on Thursday, May 26, 2016,

Just how many subgroups there are of this animal... no comment here; has everyone around the world seen evry kind of pangolin?
More to be added in the future.
For now, the basics to know are it resembles an anteater, might have spiny coating, and is up there amongst the world's most hunted and trafficked animal. Sounds like a conflict of idea, most hunted animal, and perhaps unknown to many in some parts of the world -- addressed in the question above.
