Biography
As a young student, along with his brother Oluf, Winge was interested in small mammals, particularly moles, shrews and insectivora. He studied mammalian dentition and produced a comparison of cusp similarities. He worked at the Zoological Museum in the University of Copenhagen from 1885. A major work was his three volumes of E Museo Lundii on the extinct fauna of South America with 75 plates that he drew. He also studied the animal remains found in the kitchen-middens of Denmark.{{cite journal|author=Anon.|journal=Nature |volume=112|pages=946–947 |year=1923 | doi=10.1038/112946b0| title=Obituary |issue=2826|bibcode=1923Natur.112..946M |doi-access=free }}{{cite journal|title=Herluf Winge, 1857–1923| author= Böving, AG| journal= Journal of Mammalogy| volume=5| issue=3| year=1924| pages= 196–199 | doi = 10.2307/1373288| jstor= 1373288}}
