EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a beautiful representation of the European brown hare, Lepus europaeus, and the least weasel, Mustela nivalis, in their natural habitat. The illustration is taken from a collection of pencil sketches and watercolor drawings of British mammals created between 1890 and 1910 by the renowned naturalist and artist, Dr. Edward Adrian Wilson (1872-1912). The European brown hare is a large lagomorph, characterized by its long ears, powerful hind legs, and brown fur. It is a common and widespread species found throughout Europe, and is the largest hare species in the continent. The hare is shown here in a relaxed pose, with its ears laid back, and its body camouflaged among the vegetation. The least weasel, a small carnivorous mammal, is depicted in the act of hunting the hare. The weasel is a member of the weasel family (Mustelidae), and is the smallest member of the weasel genus, Mustela. It is an agile and stealthy predator, capable of taking down prey much larger than itself. The weasel's keen senses, including its acute sense of smell and hearing, make it an efficient hunter. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating animals, and is a testament to Dr. Wilson's skill as an artist and naturalist. The intricate details and lifelike quality of the drawing make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art.
