EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the extinct Tarpan, Equus caballus gmelini, a wild horse native to Russia, as depicted in an exquisite watercolor drawing from The Naturalist's Library, Mammalia, Volume 31, published between 1833 and 1843. Sir William Jardine, a renowned Scottish naturalist and explorer, meticulously crafted this illustration, capturing the primitive bay stallion in its natural habitat. The Tarpan, a member of the Equidae family and the Perissodactyla order, is an odd-toed ungulate within the Epitheria class, making it a relative to modern horses, zebras, and rhinoceroses. This equid species, also known as the European wild horse, was once widespread across Europe and Asia. However, due to habitat loss and hunting, the Tarpan became extinct in the wild by the late 19th century. The illustration portrays the Tarpan in its daytime habitat, with its powerful build and distinctive features, such as its short, dense coat, long mane, and erect ears. The Tarpan's presence is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the past and the importance of natural history records in understanding extinct species. As a valuable addition to any library or collection, this print serves as a reminder of the natural world's wonders and the need for continued conservation efforts to protect endangered species and their habitats.
