EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi), a Stunning Felid Species from South America" This print showcases the Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi), a fascinating felid species native to the Americas. The image is a hand-colored copperplate engraving, drawn by the renowned naturalist Charles Hamilton Smith from a specimen housed in the Bullocks Museum. The engraving was meticulously crafted by Harriet or Edward Griffith, and is part of the comprehensive work "The Animal Kingdom" by the esteemed Baron Georges Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1825. The Jaguarundi, scientifically classified as Felis chalybeata, is a medium-sized wild cat with a unique appearance. Its coat is a mix of yellowish-brown, black, and white spots, with distinctive black stripes on its face and legs. This agile predator is well-adapted to various habitats, ranging from forests to grasslands, and is found throughout Central and South America. Jaguarundis are versatile hunters, preying on a diverse range of prey, including rodents, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. They are also known to climb trees, making them one of the few feline species that are arboreal. This adaptability and versatility make the Jaguarundi an intriguing and captivating subject for natural history enthusiasts and artists alike. This exquisite print is a testament to the intricacy and detail of natural history illustrations during the 19th century. It not only showcases the beauty and uniqueness of the Jaguarundi but also serves as an important record of a species that continues to fascinate and inspire us today.
