About the Item
The lithograph you provided illustrates three species of hedgehogs, captured in precise anatomical detail. Like the previous prints, this is part of "De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst" (The Mammals: Illustrated and Described in Their Habits) by Cornelis Christiaan Antonie Last, and published by S. de Visser. The illustrations emphasize the physical distinctions between the different species, particularly their size, body shape, and quill structure.
Description of Species:
1. De gestreepte borstel-egel of Tanrec
English: Striped Bristle Hedgehog or Tenrec
This species, native to Madagascar, resembles a hedgehog but is actually part of the tenrec family. Its body is covered in coarse, bristle-like hair instead of the spines typical of European hedgehogs.
2. De langoorige egel
English: Long-eared Hedgehog
Recognizable by its longer ears, this species is smaller and more slender than other hedgehogs. It inhabits desert regions and is known for its agility and ability to escape predators.
3. De Europeesche egel
English: European Hedgehog
The most familiar species, the European hedgehog is covered in spines for defense and is found throughout Europe. This species hibernates in colder months and feeds primarily on insects and small invertebrates.
---
This lithograph highlights the diversity within the hedgehog family, with each species adapted to its specific environment. The differences in ear size, body structure, and fur texture showcase the evolutionary paths these creatures have taken.
