EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from William Smellie's translation of Count Georges Buffon's "History of the Earth and Animated Nature," published in London in 1829 by Thomas Kelly, showcases two fascinating species of armadillos native to Brazil: the Three-Banded Armadillo (Tolypeutes tricinctus) and the Seven-Banded Armadillo (Dasypus septemcinctus). The Three-Banded Armadillo, depicted on the left side of the image, is a vulnerable species with distinctive three dark bands across its back, earning it the name "three-banded." With a body length of around 30 centimeters and a weight of up to 1.5 kilograms, this armadillo is well adapted to its burrowing lifestyle, with strong claws and a protective armor-like shell. The Seven-Banded Armadillo, shown on the right side, is easily recognizable by its seven narrow bands, which run the length of its body. This armadillo is slightly larger than its three-banded counterpart, measuring up to 43 centimeters long and weighing up to 3 kilograms. The seven-banded armadillo is a common species, but its populations have been declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Both armadillos were once part of the extensive natural history collections that were popular in Europe during the 19th century. This engraving provides a glimpse into the natural world of the past, showcasing the intricate details of these unique creatures. Today, the Three-Banded Armadillo is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, while the Seven-Banded Armadillo is classified as least concern. The conservation status of these animals highlights the importance of continued research and efforts to protect and preserve their habitats.
