Exotic Animals in the Medieval Books

There are many fables about animals that we know and love till today. We understand that some authors of the books did not see some of exotic animals they wrote about. It's the case of the lions where females were represented in the same way as the males, dragons etc. Here I want to show you animals painted in a medieval book I've seen in the museum of Montecassino (Montecassino and Salerno Main Churches are Twins ). Enjoy and try to guess the species.
