EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Tachyglossus aculeatus, commonly known as the short-beaked echidna, on display at the Museum d'histoire naturelle de Marseille. The taxidermy specimen is expertly preserved, showcasing the unique features of this fascinating creature.
The short-beaked echidna is a monotreme, meaning it lays eggs like a reptile but nurses its young with milk like a mammal. This evolutionary marvel is native to Australia and New Guinea, where it uses its long snout to forage for ants and termites in the soil. Its spiky exterior serves as protection against predators in the wild.
Photographers Raphael Chipault and Benjamin Soligny have captured the essence of this remarkable animal with precision and artistry. Every quill and curve is highlighted in exquisite detail, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty of nature up close.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural world and all its inhabitants. Through photography and taxidermy, we can learn about species like the short-beaked echidna and gain a deeper understanding of their place in our ecosystem.
This print serves as both an educational tool and a work of art, inviting us to marvel at the wonders of zoology and natural history.
