EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the moment a vampire bat, specifically a Desmodus darwini, was discovered at the back of the renowned naturalist Charles Darwin's house in Valparaiso, Chile, South America, in 1832. The image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, blending the fascinating worlds of science and the supernatural. Charles Darwin, then a young naturalist, was on a five-year voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, exploring various parts of the world to collect specimens and expand the understanding of natural history. During his stay in Chile, he resided in a house located at the foot of Cerro Concepción. It was here that he encountered the vampire bat, a creature known for its blood-sucking habits, which would later inspire various myths and legends. The photograph, taken from an original glass plate negative, shows the bat in a jar, carefully caught and preserved for further study. The image is a testament to the curiosity and dedication of Darwin, who meticulously documented every detail of his discoveries. This historical photograph not only provides a glimpse into the past but also showcases the importance of scientific exploration and the preservation of natural history. The vampire bat, Desmodus darwini, is native to Central and South America and is one of the few mammals capable of flying. It is an essential part of the ecosystem, playing a role in controlling the population of livestock pests and diseases. Despite its fearsome reputation, the vampire bat is not considered a threat to humans, as it primarily feeds on livestock and wild animals. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the importance of continued scientific exploration and the preservation of the natural world.
