Topics include choosing the artist, why it's important to make sure you can afford it, how to contact the artist, payment, what WIPs are and why you might want to see them, and legal rights of both parties.

Animals in Danger: Featuring Bears

=Flame-of-the-Phoenix:iconFlame-of-the-Phoenix: reports, May 12
:iconbearplz: [NOTE] It seems for every known artist on Deviantart, there are hundreds that are overlooked, many that are exceptionally talented. Some of them will be featured below; please, if you have the time check out their galleries and support them! :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:pointr: Hundreds of animals today are facing extinction: their homes are destroyed, they are slaughtered for their body parts or fur, and their food sources are lessening.


:pointr: One way to help these animals is by letting people know how bad the situation is and try to encourage people to support various groups trying to help out endangered animals. I decided to write a series of articles featuring some wonderful artists and their photographs or drawings of certain animals, some basic information on the condition of said animal in the wild, as well as some groups/clubs in case you want to get involved. Enjoy!

//Status levels (from worst to best)://
Extinct in wild, Critical risk, Endangered, Vulnerable, Lower Risk, Stable


:target: Featured: Bears

*If you are looking for panda bears, I have already featured them in my news article Animals in Danger: Featuring Pandas (see bottom of this article for the link) *

NOTE- This is not by any means the full list of endangered bears.

------------------------------------------------------


Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis)

:postit: Fast facts: - is a subspecies of the brown bear, and one of the smallest at that

- will store carrion that they find and cover it with grass and moss (which contains chemicals that kill fungi and bacteria and acts as a preservative for the meat)

- actually recycle urine when they are in hibernation

Status: :bulletgreen: Lower Risk :bulletgreen:
Due to: Poaching, inadvertent killing.

------------------------------------------------------


Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus)

:postit: Fast facts: - can see quite well underwater

- will wait for hours for a seal to emerge from the ice to breathe

- its powerful nose can smell a seal 20 miles (32 kilometers) away

Status: :bulletyellow: Vulnerable :bulletyellow:
Due to: Loss of habitat, poaching, pesticides poisoning food supply.

Other Media


------------------------------------------------------


Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus)

:postit: Fast facts: - sucking sounds the sloth bear makes while eating can be heard up to 330 ft (100 m) away

- only species of bear that carries its young on its back

- has a white patch of fur on its chest, in the shape of a "Y," "O," or "U"

Status: :bulletyellow: Vulnerable :bulletyellow:
Due to: Loss of habitat, illegal poaching.

Drawings/Sketches/Paintings


Photography


Other Media


------------------------------------------------------


Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus)

:postit: Fast facts: - also known “dog bear,” “Malay bear,” and “honey bear”

- if a predator were to latch on during a struggle, the sun bear can turn in its loose skin and bite its attacker

- has an extremely long tongue

Status: :bulletyellow: Vulnerable :bulletyellow:
Due to: Poaching, habitat loss, killing due to the fact that they destroy crops, captured for the pet trade.
