The artist uses stippling and cross-hatching to render fur direction, texture, and subtle shading, conveying depth and anatomical realism typical of 19th-century scientific illustrations. The image serves both educational and artistic purposes, highlighting functional morphology relevant to locomotion and weight distribution.
