DON BALKE (B. 1933) "RINGTAIL
DON BALKE (B. 1933) "RINGTAIL CAT"Don Balke (North Carolina, B. 1933) "Ringtail Cat" Signed lower center. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood commemorative cover for Balke's Baby Wildlife of the 50 States, postmarked November 16, 1984.
Living in a series of dens, the shy, Ringtail Cat often has quite a choice when it comes time to prepare a nursery. Rock crevices, hollow trees, abandoned cabins -- almost any dark, quiet spot along the deserted plains of Oklahoma will do. And, in late May, the special place is chosen. Soon, two to four furry white cubs are born -- blind and helpless -- and dependent on their mother's love for survival. If she must move, she will carry them -- one by one, by the nape of the neck -- with her, through the summer months. For, not until September and the first gusts of fall will they be ready for independence. In the meantime, they must learn to get along in the wilderness that is their home. With long pointed snout and large, dark eyes surrounded by whitish circles, and short pointy ears, the Ringtail Cat has earned the scientific name which means "clever little fox." It indeed has a fox-like appearance, and its abilities as a climber make it seem quite clever like a fox as well. For example, it uses a technique called chimney stemming to negotiate up or down tight rock crevices. With four feet against one sheer wall and its back against the other, it inches its way as a man in a chimney might. But the long bushy tail with large bands of black is the final deciding factor which places this shy little creature of Oklahoma in the same nocturnal family as the inquisitive, lovable raccoon.
