EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken in September 1925 at the London Zoo showcases a remarkable moment between a keeper and a Kinkajou. The image captures the unique ability of this carnivorous mammal to suspend itself from its prehensile tail, as it hangs effortlessly from the keeper's finger. The Kinkajou, also known as the Honey-Bear, is native to regions ranging from eastern Mexico to central Brazil. Its fluffy coat and cute appearance make it an endearing creature to behold. In this print by Frederick William Bond, we witness the delicate balance between strength and grace that these animals possess. The Kinkajou faces us directly with its piercing eyes, seemingly unfazed by its suspended position. The keeper gently holds onto the animal's tail while maintaining a calm demeanor throughout this encounter. As we admire this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the incredible diversity found within our natural world. This image not only highlights the beauty of these lesser-known creatures but also serves as a testament to their adaptability and survival skills. With every detail captured in stunning black and white tones, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment frozen in time at one of London's most renowned zoological institutions - an enchanting reminder of nature's wonders for all who appreciate fine art photography.
