The humpback whale is a species of baleen whale. One of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12–16m and weigh around 25–30 metric tons. The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with long pectoral fins and a knobbly head.
The pied tamarin is an endangered primate species found in a restricted area in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. This little guy can grow up to ~30cm (12″) and can have a lifespan of around 15 years. Some more experimenting with coloured gel pens.
