EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Banded Palm Civet Cat, Hemigalus derbyanus, a fascinating and threatened mammal native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. The intricate detail of the engraving, created by Lizars after an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith for William Jardine's Naturalists Library in Edinburgh in 1843, showcases the civet cat's distinctive banded fur, pointed ears, and expressive eyes. The Banded Palm Civet Cat, also known as the Zebra Civet, is a medium-sized member of the Viverridae family. They are primarily arboreal, spending most of their time in trees, and are known for their agility and excellent climbing abilities. Their diet consists mainly of fruit, but they also eat insects, birds, and small mammals. Sadly, this beautiful creature is currently classified as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Their population is declining due to habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting for their meat and fur. The rainforests where they live are being destroyed at an alarming rate, and as a result, the Banded Palm Civet Cat is losing its habitat and food sources. It is essential that we raise awareness of the threats facing this remarkable species and take action to protect their habitats and ensure their survival. This stunning engraving serves as a reminder of the natural beauty and diversity of the world around us and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
