It's quite hard deciding what type of wild animals you want do because at the same time you kind of have to like them as well which is precisely why I would NEVER do an image of a tarantula. So I've purposely chosen various animals that I have a fondness for.
I love exotic birds so there's no question as to why I chose to do a peacock because of its beautiful array of feathers and colours.
The reasons as to the specific wild animals I chose were simply down to its distinct appearance. I like the frail appearance of a bush baby, a rhino's hard wrinkly skin, the pose and stealth grace of an ostrich, the smooth pale grey tone of a beluga whale and the fine scaly skin of a chameleon.
One of the other animals i've currently done is a golden tabby tiger. I quite like the name given to to this tiger, they pretty much look like your typical except their stripes are quite faint and they have more white fur around their legs and face.
I'm still working on my wild life poster as we speak so hopeful that will be done this week.
Mr Peacock

Little bush baby
*Fact - bush babies grow to about 7 - 8 inches (not including tail) and have a life span of 14 years.
Miss Ostrich
*Fact - Ostrich's grow to about 7 - 9 feet tall and has the largest eye of any land animal at 5cm (2 in) in diameter.
Mr Rhino
*Fact - Rhinos can grow to approximately 60 inches and it's horn is a prized possession for poachers.
A charming chameleon
*Fact - Chameleons vary in sizes and unlike most reptiles chameleons can see in colour.
A peaceful beluga whale.
They do look a lot like dolphins except their noses are shorter and they're much larger in size.
*Fact - Beluga whales can grow from 13 - 20 feet and unlike most whales they have a flexible neck so they can turn their heads in any direction.
