Plate 45 from Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, Vols. 1-4 (1868-74) by Dr. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Dr. Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900) showcases the captivating image of a Pteromys alborufus, or the Eastern Flying Squirrel, native to Eastern Asia. This exquisite natural history illustration, drawn in the nineteenth century, depicts the fluffy, agile creature mid-flight, its bushy tail spread out like a wing, revealing the fur-covered membrane that allows it to glide through the forest canopy with remarkable ease. The Pteromys alborufus is a member of the Eutheria order, a group of mammals that includes all placental and marsupial mammals. This mammal is known for its arboreal lifestyle, spending most of its time in trees. The Eastern Flying Squirrel's epithet "alborufus" refers to the white underbelly that contrasts with its dark fur, providing excellent camouflage against predators. Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) and Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900) were renowned French naturalists who dedicated their lives to the study and documentation of various species. Their collaborative work, Recherches pour servir a l'histoire naturelle des Mammifères, is an essential contribution to the field of mammalogy, showcasing their meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill. This stunning illustration not only highlights the beauty and adaptability of the Eastern Flying Squirrel but also serves as a testament to the groundbreaking work of these two pioneering naturalists in the nineteenth century.
