EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the Chinese Stump-tailed Macaque, scientifically known as Macaca thibetana, also referred to as the Père David's Macaque. This Old World monkey species is native to eastern Asia, specifically in the mountainous regions of China and northern Myanmar. The monkey is named after French missionary and naturalist, Père David, who first described it in the late 19th century. The Macaca thibetana is characterized by its distinctive short tail, which is only a few inches long. They are agile climbers and spend most of their time in the trees, feeding on a variety of fruits, leaves, and seeds. This illustration, created in the 1800s, is a testament to the rich natural history records of the past. The illustration is attributed to Henri Milne-Edwards, a renowned French zoologist, who was active from 1835 to 1900. Milne-Edwards was a leading figure in the study of primates and described many new species during his career. This particular illustration was likely produced during Milne-Edwards' collaboration with his brother Alphonse Milne-Edwards, who was also a prominent naturalist. The Macaca thibetana is a member of the Cercopithecidae family, which includes Old World monkeys, and the Cercopithecinae subfamily, which includes macaques. They belong to the order Primates, the class Mammalia, the order Eutheria, the suborder Haplorhini, and the infraorder Simiiformes. This beautiful illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Chinese Stump-tailed Macaque and the dedicated work of naturalists like the Milne-Edwards brothers in documenting the world's diverse fauna.
