EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving, taken from the "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) by Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville, published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, showcases an intriguing assemblage of wildlife from the Sunda region of Asia. At the center of the image, a critically endangered Sunda pangolin, Manis javanica, is depicted curled up in defense, its protective scales covering its body. The pangolin, a mammal, is the world's most trafficked mammal due to its unique scales, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine and as a status symbol. Surrounding the pangolin are various insects and a leopard, Panthera pardus. Three horse flies, Tabanus rostratus, are seen buzzing around the pangolin, their long legs and menacing mandibles on full display. Horse flies are large, biting flies that can transmit diseases to animals and humans. Three scorpion flies, Panorpa communis, are also present in the image. Scorpion flies are not true flies, but rather predatory insects that resemble flies. They have long, slender bodies and are often mistaken for scorpions due to their segmented abdomen and pincer-like legs. The leopard, Panthera pardus, is a powerful predator native to Africa and Asia. In this image, four leopards are shown, their spots providing excellent camouflage in the lush foliage. Leopards are known for their agility and strength, and they are apex predators in their respective habitats. This engraving, created by Adolph Fries, provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Sunda region and highlights the intricate relationships between various species. It serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species, such as the Sunda pangolin, and the delicate balance of ecosystems that support diverse and complex wildlife communities.
