EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Bewick Meerkat, also known as Suricata suricatta or Suricates, a small mammal native to the arid regions of Southern Africa. Named after the English naturalist Thomas Bewick, this meerkat is famously recognized for its unique posture, where it stands on its hind legs when scanning the environment for potential threats. Thomas Bewick, a prominent English naturalist and illustrator, documented the meerkat in his seminal work, "A History of Quadrupeds," published in 1790. In this work, Bewick meticulously captured the intricacies of the meerkat's anatomy and behavior, making it one of the earliest and most accurate records of the species. The meerkat's distinctive appearance and behavior have made it a subject of fascination for generations. With its elongated snout, bushy tail, and four toes on each foot, the meerkat is an enigma in the animal kingdom. Its tendency to stand on its hind legs, which is a behavior typically associated with larger animals, adds to its allure. In the wild, meerkats live in social groups called mobs, which are led by a dominant pair. They are omnivores, feeding on a variety of foods, including insects, rodents, reptiles, and fruits. Meerkats are also known for their communal behavior, where they take turns standing guard while the others forage for food. This historical print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating creature. It serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world, and the role that naturalists like Thomas Bewick have played in our understanding of the natural world.
