EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a print from Plate 76 of the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, spanning the years 1774 to 1856. The subject of this illustration is the Chinese ferret badger, scientifically known as Melogale moschata. This intriguing mammal is native to Asia, specifically in the southern parts of China, Myanmar, and Vietnam. John Reeves, a British surgeon and naturalist, meticulously documented various species during his time in China. This collection of zoological drawings is a testament to his dedication and the rich biodiversity of the region. The Chinese ferret badger, a member of the order Carnivora, is depicted in this illustration with remarkable detail and accuracy. The Chinese ferret badger, also known as the ferret-badger or the Asian ferret-badger, is a medium-sized mammal with a stocky body and short legs. Its fur is typically dark brown with lighter underparts. The animal's most distinctive feature is its long, flexible snout, which it uses to burrow into the ground in search of food. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the Chinese ferret badger during the 19th century. The animal's epithet, moschata, refers to its musky odor, which is believed to be used as a defense mechanism against predators. The Chinese ferret badger is an omnivore, feeding on a variety of foods including insects, rodents, fruits, and roots. The John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, is an invaluable resource for researchers and enthusiasts of natural history. This particular print of the Chinese ferret badger offers a unique perspective into the natural world of the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the Asian continent's wildlife.
