EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a unique moment in time at the London Zoo in 1924. In the image, we see a gloved keeper delicately holding a Fennec Fox around its neck, showcasing the bond between man and animal. The fox's large ears stand tall, adding to its adorable charm. The Fennec Fox, scientifically known as Vulpes zerda, is native to the Sahara Desert and is well-known for its distinctive features. This rare glimpse into this beautiful creature's life allows us to appreciate its elegance and grace. The gloved hands of the keeper demonstrate both care and protection towards this delicate mammal. It highlights the importance of human involvement in preserving wildlife species during an era when conservation efforts were still developing. Photographer Frederick William Bond skillfully captures this intimate moment with precision and artistry. His work provides us with a window into zoological history while also celebrating the beauty of nature itself. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect these incredible creatures that share our planet. The photograph serves as a reminder that even though times have changed since 1924, our fascination with wildlife remains constant throughout generations.
