EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century print depicts the Chestnut-eared Choeropus, or Chestnut-eared Quokka (Chaeropus castanotis), a unique and intriguing marsupial native to Western Australia in Australasia. The image is taken from Plate 6 of Mammals of Australia, Volume 1, an impressive work by renowned natural history illustrators John Gould and Elizabeth Gould, published in 1863. The Chestnut-eared Choeropus is easily identified by its distinctive chestnut-colored ears, which contrast sharply with its brown, agile body. This eudicot, angiosperm-feeding bandicoot is a member of the Chaeropodidae family, order Peramelemorphia, and is closely related to the Quokka (Chaeropus ecaudatus). The animal is shown in its daytime habitat, surrounded by various Fagaceae (oak) and Fabaceae (bean) trees, common angiosperms in the region. The Chestnut-eared Choeropus is an important part of the local ecosystem, feeding on the roots, tubers, and seeds of these angiosperms, contributing to the health and diversity of the forest. The intricate details of the drawing reveal the careful observation and dedication of the Goulds in documenting the natural world. The print also showcases the beauty and diversity of the Australian fauna, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a connection to the rich natural history of this fascinating continent.
