EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print showcases the skull of the Przewalskium albirostris, also known as the Falklands fox, White-lipped deer, or Antarctic wolf. Once the sole native land mammal of the Falkland Islands, this intriguing creature became extinct in 1876, making it a rare and important piece of natural history. The Falklands fox, a member of the Canidae family, was a medium-sized carnivore with distinctive white lips and a long snout, which gave it its alternative name. The anatomy of this placental mammal, belonging to the order Caniformia and the family Canidae, is of great interest to scientists and natural historians. Its skull, as depicted in this print, reveals its canine teeth, which were long and sharp, indicating its predatory nature. The Falklands fox was closely related to the South American fox, Dusicyon australis, and the Antarctic wolf, Canis antarcticus. Charles Darwin, the renowned naturalist, visited the Falkland Islands in 1833 and documented the existence of this unique creature. The Falklands fox played an essential role in the ecosystem of the islands, and its extinction left a significant gap in the biosphere. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying the natural world, as every species plays a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of ecosystems.
