EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Majestic White-barred Aguara Fox: A Rare Canid from South America This print showcases the enchanting figure of a White-barred Aguara Fox, also known as the White-barred Bush Dog or the White-barred Swamp Fox (Cerdocyon mesoleucus). This elusive canid species is native to the grasslands, savannas, and wetlands of South America, primarily found in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay. The White-barred Aguara Fox is a medium-sized mammal, with a body length of around 36-45 cm (14-18 inches) and a weight of approximately 3-6 kg (6.6-13 lbs). They have a distinctive coat, characterized by their white underbelly, legs, and tail, with black bars running down their back, giving them an uncanny resemblance to the Black-backed Jackal (Canis mesomelas). This exquisite print is a handcolored engraving on steel, created by the renowned Scottish engraver William Lizars, based on a drawing by the esteemed British military officer and naturalist, Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith. The print is part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Dogs, published in Edinburgh in 1839. The White-barred Aguara Fox is an elusive and rarely seen creature, making this historical record an essential addition to any natural history collection. Their diet primarily consists of rodents, birds, and reptiles, making them an essential part of their ecosystem. This print not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an invaluable historical record of a fascinating and rarely seen species. It is a testament to the dedication of naturalists like Sir William Jardine, Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, and William Lizars in documenting the natural world for future generations.
