| Summary | "Animal Portraiture" by Richard Lydekker is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work features a collection of exquisite animal illustrations by Wilhelm Kuhnert, accompanied by original articles that delve into various species' characteristics and habitats. The aim of the book is to combine art with zoological insight, capturing the essence of the animals depicted. The opening of "Animal Portraiture" introduces the majestic lion, providing a detailed description of its physical attributes, habitat, and behavior. Lydekker explains the significance of the lion’s mane and its role in the animal's dominance and appeal. The text discusses the lion's historical range, emphasizing its connection to Africa while also noting its existence in parts of Asia. This section not only showcases the lion's status as a powerful predator but also touches on its interactions with prey and other species, setting the stage for a broader exploration of animal life found within the detailed studies that follow.
