EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph features a beautifully preserved taxidermy specimen of an Aardwolf (Proteles cristatellus), a unique and intriguing native animal of southern and eastern Africa. The Aardwolf, which is not related to the hyena despite its superficial resemblance, is characterized by its yellowish grey fur with distinct black stripes. This nocturnal forager primarily feeds on termites and insect larvae, using its long, sticky tongue to extract its prey from their burrows. The Aardwolf's habitat ranges from the savannas and woodlands of South Africa to the grasslands of Ethiopia. This particular specimen, likely hailing from the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating creature. The Aardwolf's elongated snout and pointed ears are evident in the photograph, as is its bushy tail. The taxidermy process has preserved the details of its fur and facial features, allowing us to appreciate the animal's natural beauty up close. The Aardwolf's presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity found in Africa and the importance of preserving and studying these remarkable creatures. This image, taken in the 1930s, offers a window into the past and a testament to the enduring allure of natural history.
