EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in September 1925 at the London Zoo, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment of connection between man and nature. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene where a Kinkajou, also known as a Honey-bear, is suspended upside down from a keeper's finger by its prehensile tail. The Kinkajou, native to regions ranging from eastern Mexico to central Brazil, reveals its incredible adaptability as it effortlessly clings onto the keeper's finger with its unique tail. This rare ventral view allows us to marvel at the strength and agility of this carnivorous mammal belonging to the Procyonidae family. The historical significance of this photo adds an extra layer of intrigue. Taken by Frederick William Bond, an esteemed British photographer affiliated with the Zoological Society of London, it captures not only the beauty but also serves as documentation for future generations. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by the delicate balance between human interaction and wildlife preservation. It reminds us that even within captivity, there exists moments of harmony and trust between humans and animals – moments that inspire awe and deepen our appreciation for Earth's diverse creatures.
