1. Title: "The Enchanting Barbary Squirrel: A Historical Glimpse into the World of Sciurus Getulus The captivating image before you showcases the allure of the Barbary Squirrel (Sciurus getulus), a charming rodent native to North Africa. This attractive squirrel, roughly the same size as the common grey squirrel, is a delightful subject that has captured the attention of naturalists and art enthusiasts for centuries. Mary Evans Picture Library, through its extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, proudly presents this evocative photograph of a Bewick's Barbary Squirrel, named after the renowned English naturalist, Thomas Bewick. The image, created around 1790, offers a historical glimpse into the world of this fascinating creature. The Barbary Squirrel is an intriguing contrast to its more common grey counterpart, with its distinctive reddish-brown fur, bushy tail, and ear tufts. Its captivating appearance has made it a popular subject in art and literature, with the Barbary Squirrel gracing the pages of numerous natural history books and illustrations. Despite their shared name, Bewick's Barbary Squirrels and Thomas Bewick, the English engraver and naturalist, are not directly related. The name "Bewick's" was given to this Barbary Squirrel subspecies in honor of Bewick's significant contributions to the field of natural history. The Barbary Squirrel is native to the Mediterranean region, primarily residing in forests, woodlands, and rocky areas. While they are not as common as grey squirrels in Europe and North America, they have managed to maintain a strong presence in their native habitats. This enchanting photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the natural world, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and intrigue of creatures like the Barbary Squirrel.
