EDITORS COMMENTS
This image dates back to the Victorian era, showcasing a magnificent Scyliorhinus stellaris, also known as the nursehound, bull huss, or catshark. The photograph, taken in the year 1862, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the past. The dogfish, a small shark species, is often found in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas. Scyliorhinus stellaris is characterized by its brownish-gray coloration, with a white underbelly, and distinctive white spots along its body. It is a bottom-dwelling shark, typically found at depths of 10 to 200 meters. The species is named for its nursing behavior, as they are often found in large groups, with pregnant females providing protection to the young. The photograph, taken during the 1860s, reflects the growing interest in natural history during the Victorian era. The era saw a surge in scientific exploration and documentation, with many naturalists and photographers traveling the world to study and capture images of new and exotic species. This dogfish image is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the marine world and the important role that historical records play in documenting and understanding the natural world. The Scyliorhinus stellaris continues to thrive in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas, providing a connection to the natural history of the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our marine ecosystems for future generations.
