The scimitar horned oryx, (Oryx dammah), also called the Sahara oryx, was once widespread across North Africa, but in the 1980’s the population began to plummet - largely due to the antelopes being hunted for their horns and meat. In 2000, the species was declared Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN Red List.

Today its fate has been reversed – the first species from our Extinct in the Wild global initiative to be downlisted.

For #ManateeAppreciationDay:

1. original watercolor by Joseph Wolf (German, 1820-1899) for ZSL, 1879 via ZSL Library 2. published version, plate 7 in Biologia Centrali-Americana: Mammalia, 1879-1882 via BHL

More info via ZSL Library: "Watercolour on paper, in window mount ; art - 35 x 27 cm., mount - 57.5 x 44.5 cm. Signed by artist in black paint in lower right corner: 'J. Wolf. 1879'." "Mss title in ink and pencil, in unidentified handwriting, on label pasted on mount: 'Manatee (Manatus americanus) from a specimen living in the Westminster Aquarium 1879. See PZS 1879'."

"According to the caption the painting was made of an animal living in Westminster Aquarium. A manatee - said to be Manatus americanus - was living in the Westminster Aquarium in 1879 and a note about it by Dr James Murie was published in 'PZS' 1879 : 552. This refers to Murie's forthcoming paper on that manatee based on observations of the great mobility of the upper lip and use of the limbs in feeding when it was living in the Aquarium and brain structure (after it died). This paper was published : Murie, J. (1880) 'Further observations on the manatee', 'TZS' 11 : 19-48 5 pls (by C. Berjeau). On p. 21-23 Murie states the adult female manatee was caught in a net on the Dauntless Bank, off the Island of Lequana, near the mouth of the Essiquibo River, British Guiana, taken to London and purchased by the Aquarium in June 1878. It died on 15 March 1879. Wolf's painting is [therefore] presumably of the West African manatee, Trichechus senegalensis."

🆔Manatee, likely West African Manatee (Trichechus senegalensis); Kingfisher, likely Giant Kingfisher (Megaceryle maxima)

FYI, there are three living species of manatee, and Wolf's illustration has gone through the confusion of first being misidentified as one, then another, before finally being correctly recognized as the third! More info on the blog:

Twilights - An evening at London Zoo

Twilights – An evening at London Zoo

Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube Last week I was fortunate enough to be invited to the opening evening of ZSL London Zoo’s Twilight event. I have been to a few of these events in the past, but this is the first one since covid so I was eager to return. They not only provided me with tickets for the opening night but also asked me if I would like to experience their new champagne experience…

It's #NationalAardvarkWeek! Besides being one of my favorite mammals, it's also the most evolutionarily distinct one (more on that below). Stay tuned for more aardvark art and info all week long! 😎 #AardvarksAareAawesome

"Erdferkel," Plate 14 in Brehms thierleben, allgemeine kunde des thierreichs, 1876-9. Biodiversity Heritage Library.

#DYK the Aardvark (Orycteropus afer) is the only living representative of an entire ORDER of mammals, Tubulidentata? This helped it score as the #1 most evolutionarily distinctive (ED) mammal on ZSL's EDGE of Existence list:

[FYI the only other mammal order with a single living member is Microbiotheria, represented by the Monito del Monte (Dromiciops gliroides) - however they have more living relatives one step out in superorder Australidelphia than the Aardvark does in the Afrotheria.]
