EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 14 from From Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (1868-74) by Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900) presents a captivating illustration of the Complex-toothed Flying Squirrel, Trogopterus xanthipes, native to Eastern Asia. This agile and intriguing mammal is a member of the Lemuriformes order, with its closest relatives being lemurs and lorises. The Complex-toothed Flying Squirrel is renowned for its unique features, including its complex teeth, which are adapted for shearing and crushing nuts and seeds. The squirrel's body is covered in thick, soft fur, with a striking orange-brown coloration. Its large, membranous hind limbs enable it to glide through the forest canopy with remarkable ease and grace, making it an expert in daytime arboreal acrobatics. This exquisite drawing, produced in the late 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this remarkable creature. The meticulous attention to detail and the lifelike representation of the animal's anatomy and fur texture are a testament to the skill and expertise of the illustrators, Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards. As pioneering naturalists and zoologists, the Milne-Edwards brothers made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of the animal kingdom. Their comprehensive work on the mammals of the world, including this illustration of the Complex-toothed Flying Squirrel, remains a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike, offering a window into the natural world of the past.
