EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, created by William Lizars from a drawing by Colonel Charles Hamilton Smith, presents the enigmatic Falkland Island Aguara-dog (Dusicyon australis). Once inhabiting the remote and rugged Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, this extinct canid species is a fascinating chapter in the natural history of the region. The Aguara-dog, also known as the Falkland Islands fox or warrah, was a medium-sized mammal with a distinctive appearance, featuring a long snout, pointed ears, and a bushy tail. They were well-adapted to their island home, with thick fur to endure the cold climate and strong legs for navigating the rocky terrain. Unfortunately, the Aguara-dog's story is one of extinction. By the late 1800s, they had been hunted to the brink of extinction due to competition with introduced species, such as feral pigs and dogs, as well as habitat loss. The last confirmed sighting of an Aguara-dog was in 1876, making it an intriguing and poignant subject for naturalists and historians. This beautiful engraving, published in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library in 1839, serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that once thrived on the Falkland Islands and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations. The intricate details captured in the engraving, from the textures of the fur to the expressive eyes of the Aguara-dog, make it a captivating work of art and a valuable historical document.
