Bestiary

I read through several of the descriptions of animals on the bestiary and I noticed that the ones that were actual animals had similar descriptions with the way they are viewed today. some of the character traits of the animals that the bestiary describes are exactly how these animals are viewed today. the fox is described as being a deceitful and crafty animal that never runs in a straight line. when we look at the fox today we see that it is usually portrayed as being cunning and untrustworthy. there were also several other animals that were close to how we think of them now but i felt the fox was the closest to our view today. even the picture looked like a real fox!
