EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century illustration depicts the yellow-bellied glider, or Petaurus australis, a fascinating and endangered marsupial native to Australia. The drawing, titled "Hepoona Roo" and numbered as 47 in the Port Jackson Painter's Manuscript 34, was created around the turn of the 19th century. The artist, whose true identity remains unknown, masterfully captures the intricate details of this agile and fluffy-furred creature. The yellow-bellied glider is a member of the Diprotodontia family, known for their two-pronged incisors and diverse range of adaptations for arboreal living. With its bushy tail and membranous limbs, this marsupial is well-equipped for flying through the forest canopy, covering impressive distances of up to 150 meters in a single leap. Its dorsal stripe and yellow underbelly provide excellent camouflage, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its environment. The Port Jackson Painter's detailed illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of this remarkable Australian mammal, providing valuable insights into its appearance and behavior for generations to come. As a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 18th century, this illustration continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the importance of preserving the unique and diverse wildlife of Australasia.
