EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 146 from the comprehensive collection of drawings of mammals and birds from Nepal, created between 1818 and 1858 by the renowned British naturalist, Bryan Houghton Hodgson (1800-1894). This illustration features the Chiru, scientifically known as Pantholops hodgsonii, an endangered antelope species native to the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau in Asia. Hodgson, a pioneering explorer and naturalist, meticulously documented this elusive mammal during his extensive travels through the region. The Chiru, also known as the Tibetan Antelope or the Pikas Gazelle, is an even-toed ungulate belonging to the family Bovidae and the subfamily Antilopinae. It is characterized by its distinctive white fur on the underbelly and the back of its legs, which helps it blend into the snowy terrain during winter. This stunning drawing provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Chiru's physical attributes, including its slender body, long, spiraled horns, and delicate facial features. Hodgson's exceptional artistic skills and keen observational abilities are evident in the intricate details of the Chiru's coat texture, the delicate folds of its skin, and the lifelike depiction of its expressive eyes. As a significant contribution to the scientific community during the 19th century, Hodgson's collection of drawings offers invaluable insights into the natural history of Nepal and the Himalayas. The Chiru, which is now classified as an endangered species due to habitat loss and poaching, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's diverse wildlife populations and their habitats.
