EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann, published in Heinrich Rudolf Schinz's Illustrated Natural History of Men and Animals in 1836, showcases three distinct and fascinating mammals from different continents: a Kinkajou (Potos flavus), a South American Coati (Nasua nasua), and a European Badger (Meles meles). The Kinkajou, also known as the honey bear, is a nocturnal mammal native to Central and South America. It is characterized by its long, bushy tail, prehensile thumbs, and a face resembling that of a raccoon. Kinkajous are omnivorous, feeding on fruit, leaves, flowers, and insects. They are also known for their ability to produce a loud, piercing scream, which they use as a warning call. The South American Coati, or the Brazilian Tapirhana, is a raccoon-like mammal that is native to Central and South America. It has a long, bushy tail, ringed with black and white fur, and a long, slender snout. Coatis are omnivorous, feeding on fruits, nuts, seeds, insects, and small vertebrates. They are social animals, living in groups of up to 20 individuals. The European Badger, native to Europe, is a large, powerful mammal with a distinctive black and white striped face. They are omnivorous, feeding on roots, bulbs, fruits, nuts, and insects. European badgers are solitary animals, living in burrows that they dig themselves. They are also known for their strong, powerful forelegs, which they use to dig and to defend themselves against predators. This beautiful lithograph not only showcases the physical characteristics of these fascinating animals but also highlights the rich diversity of the natural world that existed long before the age of industrialization and mass media. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of Karl Joseph Brodtmann and the natural history community of the 19th century, who dedicated themselves to documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
