I mentioned in the beginning of this project that the common link to the drawings is that they all come from the Smithsonian Mammal's Handbook which not only has fabulous images but great info as well. Here is an example in regards to the Dromedary…

"The Dromedary has been wholly domesticated, with no record of any individuals existing in the wild since prehistoric times (3000 BC)."

Day 7: Roseate Spoonbill, 12x9"
