EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century showcases the enigmatic beauty of a Pangolin, specifically the Manis temminckii species. The intricate details and delicate lines of this German print bring to life the unique characteristics of this fascinating creature. The Pangolin is depicted in its natural habitat, seemingly navigating through a desert landscape with grace and agility. Its scaly armor-like skin glistens under the warm sunlight, providing protection against potential threats lurking in its surroundings. The elongated body and slender limbs are captured flawlessly, showcasing the pangolin's ability to move swiftly across various terrains. One cannot help but be drawn to its distinctive feature - an extraordinary tail that curls elegantly behind it as if poised for action. This prehensile appendage serves multiple purposes; it aids in balance while climbing trees or burrowing underground, acts as a defense mechanism when threatened, and assists in capturing prey. As an insectivore, the pangolin plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance by controlling populations of ants and termites within their habitats. Their long snout allows them to probe deep into anthills or termite mounds with precision as they feast on their favorite delicacies. This remarkable wood engraving not only captures the essence of one particular pangolin but also serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with these elusive creatures throughout history. It stands as a reminder of nature's diversity and reminds us of our responsibility towards preserving such incredible species for future generations to
