Oh, Bestiary, how lovely!

I must say, the texts of this mixture of a briefing book on theology, zoology textbook and practical guide to diagnosis, prevention and treatment, not less interesting than these wonderful anlyuminyury, judge for yourself:

First - in honor of gray, who lured me out of my lair - talk about Wolf. He is strong chest, but weak in the loins. He can not turn his head back, he has turned his whole body. The cubs are born only once a year, in May, a peal of thunder.
Night wolf's eyes sparkle like burning candles.
This beast represents the Devil, because, like the wolf, the devil full of malice and hatred of all a human family, he is constantly lurking for honest Christians and trying to embarrass their souls and bring them into sin. The eyes of the wolf, shining in the night - a diabolical creations, which seem unreasonable for people beautiful and captivate them.
When the wolf saw a man first, then look it deprives the person of all forces, and help him nobody can. The only salvation: the person must take a stone in both hands, to throw off their clothes and trample it while beating one stone to another - then the wolf obessileet and run, and the man left alive.

Here, now you know that you need to do in case of a dangerous meeting.

Tiger. Given birth to cubs, she keeps them in crystal balls, which serve as an incubator.
Seeing that some hunter stole the ball with the cub, she certainly strikes in pursuit of him, as well as its speed is much faster than any horse, it can easily overtake the thief. Then the hunter can be saved only one way - he must immediately leave tigress empty crystal ball. Seeing my reflection, a brave but not too clever tigress thinks that she returned to her baby and lost all interest to the hunter, who recommended that still did not hesitate, and take his legs in his hands.

Beaver (in Latin castor) - a very nice animal, and besides, he is very smart, much smarter than all the other animals. But you see, his misfortune is that his penis had medicinal properties. Therefore, a great many people hunt the beaver. When a beaver sees the hunter behind him on the trail, he bite off those same bodies and throwing them to the hunter so that he did not kill him, and took them and calmed down.
And that's not all! Imagine that sometimes a beaver had gnawed-off bodies, observes hunter who does not know that no healing in our bodies beaver no longer exists, and is going to kill him. Then our castrated Castor stands on its hind legs, turned to the hunter and shows him that the family jewels, if you can takvyrazitsya already stolen. Needless to say, that such a beaver hunter does not care?

Bonnakon - is a beast that lives in Asia. His head is like a bull, but his horns are bent inward, so the butt one, alas, he can not. However, do not think that he is deprived of the means of protection. At the sight of the hunters, he turned his back to them and "shoots" in which a piece of shit, which, like a bomb igniter, it burns everything in its path within a radius of 200 meters. Hunter, whom we see on the image to know about such a defensive strategy bonnakona, so he closes the shield, so as not to suffer from this medieval version of "Molotov cocktails".

Ostrich: firstly, to lay an egg, he raises his head to the sky and waiting for the appearance of the constellation Pleiades. Secondly, digging a hole and snesya in her egg, it immediately forgets where this hole with an egg and can not find it.
This means that the ostrich ignores earthly goods and treasures only the manifestations of the divine.
I can not advise you to follow an example.

But I can go on for hours, ceasing to powder your brains and I wish you all a wonderful New Year!

P.S. Мои иллюстрации из Абердинского бестиария.

The most important thing forgotten!

on dogs.

No animal can not be compared with the dog, it surpasses all in the mind - only dogs know their names and love their masters. There are many breeds of dogs: some hunt wild animals, others followed the herds, and others protect the property of their owners from thieves and robbers. The dogs are ready to sacrifice his life for the owner, they follow him everywhere and mourn him when he dies.

O Bear is, so please (for you, Antipov, everything you want, at any time

):

At birth the cub is besformanny piece of meat - this is explained by the fact that the bears are born prematurely. But bear their young form attached, long and patiently vylizyvaya them.
The whole strength of the bear lies in its front paws and in the ridge.

Bear knows how to heal their wounds, applying to them the grass, known only to him, and eating ants. This is a very lazy animal, he could not bear to run and loves idleness.

But there is nothing about cats, so let me offer in return for the choice of the panther or leopard:

Panther, which comes in different colors, like all animals, because it has an unusually fragrant breath. Only one snake - obviously, it is very poorly developed sense of smell, and it is not sensitive to the smell of panterinomu - represents a threat to the panther!

Leopard was considered the fruit of love lions and the mythical "parda". As you can ascertain, he inherited a wool cover from the mother. As for the sly and mocking expression on his face, then I can not say whether he is obliged them to genes of his father, as he had never met with Pardo.

LCR In the annals of many references to pardusah at princely courts, hunted with them, they were presented, they were a status animals, like dogs and roytvellerov in the 90-ies. Occurs even profession "pardusnik" - apparently, the trainer and the huntsman.

Interestingly, it was for pardus this?
I think I read somewhere that the hunt used tame cheetahs, but to give a hand to bet for the accuracy of this information will not - it still is useful to me

Oleg is ECHA advance to Gyurgevi, and let him pardus "- perhaps pardusami broadly called all kinds of leopards.
