EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," showcases two intriguing and distinct rodent species: the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) and the Brazilian tuco-tuco (Ctenomys brasiliensis). The Mongolian gerbil, also known as the Mongolian jird or simply the gerbil, is a small, furry mammal native to the steppes of Central Asia. With their pointed snouts, round ears, and long, bushy tails, they are a common sight in the deserts and semi-deserts of Mongolia, China, and Russia. Their agile limbs and burrowing abilities enable them to navigate the harsh desert terrain with ease. In stark contrast, the Brazilian tuco-tuco, or tuco-tuco, is a rodent native to South America. They are named for their distinctive, tufted ears and their habit of making a distinctive "tuco-tuco" sound. These rodents are well-adapted to living in the grasslands and savannas of South America, with powerful claws for digging burrows and a keen sense of smell that helps them locate food. The Mongolian gerbil and Brazilian tuco-tuco are separated by vast geographical distances, yet they share some intriguing similarities. Both species are burrowing rodents, and they both exhibit complex social behaviors, living in groups and communicating with each other through a variety of vocalizations. This beautiful engraving, produced in Paris in 1838 by the publishing house Pourrat Freres, captures the unique features and characteristics of these two fascinating rodent species, showcasing the rich diversity of the natural world.
