EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century illustration depicts a Long-finned Pilot Whale, Globicephala melas, in its natural aquatic environment. The Pilot Whale is a large cetacean, belonging to the family Delphinidae and the subfamily Globicephalinae. With its long, slender body and distinctive long pectoral fins, this mammal is an impressive sight both above and below the water's surface. The Long-finned Pilot Whale is a social animal, often found in large pods of up to 1,000 individuals. They are known for their complex social structures and communication skills, making them a fascinating subject for scientific study. This illustration captures the grace and power of this magnificent creature as it moves through the water, its sleek form cutting through the waves with ease. This illustration is part of a collection from the 19th century, a time when natural history was a burgeoning field of study. The illustration is attributed to Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson, a renowned naturalist and explorer of the time. Dr. Wilson's extensive travels and research contributed significantly to our understanding of the natural world, and this illustration is a testament to his dedication and expertise. The Long-finned Pilot Whale is a daytime, warm-blooded mammal, belonging to the order Cetacea and the class Mammalia. Its scientific name, Globicephala melas, reflects its large, globular head and melanic coloration. This illustration captures the essence of this magnificent creature, providing a window into the natural world of the past and reminding us of the importance of preserving and protecting these magnificent animals for future generations.
