Ten Strange Medieval Opinions about Animals

Posted by EconomyLand | Posted in , , | Posted on 05:45:00

In the Middle Ages, one could discover data about different creatures (genuine and envisioned) in books known as Bestiaries. For the most part in light of old journalists and medieval legends, these books offer some extremely interesting depictions of mammoths. Here is the way one thirteenth century Bestiary – Oxford's Bodleian Library MS 764 – subtle elements the irregular properties and qualities of ten creatures. 

1.Lions 

The way of the lion is with the end goal that he is not maddened by men in the event that he is not hurt by them...The lenient nature of lions is affirmed by various illustrations; they will save men lying on the ground, and will lead prisoners whom they meet to their home. They will assault men instead of ladies. They just murder kids on the off chance that they are outstandingly ravenous. 

2.Beavers 

There is creature called the beaver, which is very manageable, whose gonads are phenomenal as drug ... When it understands that seekers are seeking after it, it gnaws off its balls and tosses them down before the seekers, and along these lines takes flights and escapes. 

3.Vipers 

The snake is supposed in light of the fact that it conceives an offspring under pressure. For when its tummy feels the strings of birth, its posterity don't anticipate their characteristic discharge in great time yet chomp through the mother's body and break out, killing the mother. It is said that the male puts his head in the female's mouth so as to discharge his semen; she, in her sexual delight, nibbles the male's take off; thus both guardians pass on: the male in mating, the female in conceiving an offspring. 

4.Bears 

The guys regard the pregnant females, and on the off chance that they live in a similar surrender, they possess isolate nests. The season of labor is quickened with them, on the grounds that the womb is liberated of its weight following thirty days. What's more, this fast pregnancy produces amorphous animals. They bring forth minimal nebulous chunks of substance, white in shading and without eyes. They shape them by bit by bit licking them with their tongue, warming them in the then on their bosom, so that the warmth of the grasp breathes life into them. 

5.Deer

Stags are the foes of serpents; when they feel the side effects of disease, they lure winds out of their openings with the expansiveness of their noses, and beating their unsafe toxin, feast upon them and are cured. 

6.Tigers 

On the off chance that a tigress discovers her nest looted of its offspring, she set out without a moment's delay in quest for the cheat. At the point when the last mentioned, regardless of the possibility that he is mounted on a quick stallion, understands that he is being overwhelmed by the speed of the brute, and has no different way to get out, he will utilize this astute trickiness. When he sees that the tigress is close him, he tosses down a glass circle. The tigress is misled by the picture in it, and trusts it is her whelp. She ends in her tracks and tries to get the offspring. Deferred by the false appearance, she intensifies her speed in quest for the rider, prodded on by her anger. Yet, he tosses down another circle, which postpones her once more, in light of the fact that the memory of the duplicity is overcome by her maternal nature. She turns the empty picture and takes a seat as though to suckle her whelp. So the force of her protective love double-crosses her, and denies her of both her reprisal and her fledgling. 

7.Foxes 

It is an astute, swindling creature. In the event that it is ravenous and can't discover anything to eat, it comes in red earth, so it appears as though it spotted with blood, and lies on the ground holding its broadness, so it is not really relaxing. The flying creatures see that it is not breathing, and is lying there spotted with blood with its tongue hanging out, and think it dead. They fly down to roost on it, and it seizes them and eats up them. 

8.Salamanders 

The lizard is alleged in light of the fact that it is evidence against flame; it is the most noxious of every toxic animal. Others kill each one in turn; this animal executes a few on the double. For on the off chance that it slithers into a tree, every one of the apples are contaminated with its toxic substance, and the individuals who eat them kick the bucket. Similarly, in the event that it falls in a well, the water will harm the individuals who drink it. It is the adversary of flame and alone among creatures can put out blazes. It lives amidst blazes without agony and without being devoured; does it not smolder, as well as it puts out the flares. 

9.Wolves 

The wolf is a covetous mammoth, and yearns for blood ... in the event that it needs to chase it prey by night, it sneaks up to the sheepfold like a faltering pooch, and, so that the mutts don't get its aroma and wake the shepherds, it goes upwind. What's more, if a twig breaks under its foot and makes a commotion, it rebuffs that foot by gnawing it. Its eyes sparkle in the night like lights; its inclination is with the end goal that on the off chance that it sees a man before the man gets a quick look at it, it can deny him of his voice, and it will then fail to acknowledge on the grounds that it has won this triumph over his voice. 

10.Panthers 

When he has eaten and is full, he covers up in his den and dozes. Following three days he rouses himself from rest, and lets forward an awesome thunder; and out of his mouth comes a sweet odor that appears to contain each sort of aroma. At the point when alternate creatures hear his voice they assemble from far and close, and tail him wherever he goes because of the sweetness of his breath. Just the winged serpent, hearing his voice, stows away in dread in the insides of the earth. There it lies in a trance, since it can't hold up under the sweet odor, and stays unmoving, as though it were dead.
