Is anyone on here an expert in medieval/early modern bestiaries?
Congratulations to @kristof_smeyers, whose wonderful #LockdownBestiary thread on the raven has taken flight as a book!
@ErtsbergB @Karl_Drabbe @NaomiSkouta @MichaelDomen1 In English: this book would never have existed without #LockdownBestiary, so thank you @eparpillee and @manymanyplies for letting me rave about ravens!
Our friend the hedgehog didn’t get much attention in the #LockdownBestiary, given he’s quite hard to spot in the digital facsimile 🧐
Can you see him here? 🦔

On Thursday I finally managed to see the #LockdownBestiary manuscript in person – thank you to @JuliaWalworth for making it possible!

Finally back in the @britishmuseum today after far too long away, and enjoying looking at this 15thC pelican brooch which looks quite a lot like the one in our #LockdownBestiary! (📷 PE AF.2767)
Young pelicans appear to fight their elders quite a bit.
They often die but are revived when they're brought out of it.

Alas! I have run out of beasts about which I can tell you.
By all means have a look again – there are a few to get through!

Monkeys are great imitators, doing what they see.
Here we see them standing on two legs like you and me.

This #LockdownBestiary from my old college is more fun than an episode of #GameOfThrones. Check it out! @MertonCollege @JuliaWalworth @UniofOxford
'Aptaleon,' I hear you ask, 'what kind of beast is that?'
It has great horns that cut down trees within its habitat.

The onager, a wild donkey, prefers night to day.
It cannot stand the equinox: we know this from its bray.

Our final bird's an asida, with two big hooves for feet.
She lays eggs in the desert where they're nurtured by the heat.

The night heron, just like the ibex, lives on bits and pieces;
and when it's dark, that evil time, its haunting call increases.

A gentle bird, our friend the coot, makes nests on rocks or waters.
That way, you see, there is more food to feed its sons and daughters.

The ibex, meanwhile, lives a wicked life feeding on scraps.
It daren't go near the Nile, fearing the crocodile, who snaps.

Of all the birds the hoopoe to its parents is most caring.
When they get old it carries them around, their bodies bearing.

New on our blog: Seb Dows-Miller of @MertonCollege shares with us some of the wonderful creatures of a Medieval bestiary @MertonBeasts https://t.co/DBxsnXWIDC
While little, ants all work together in their nests, you see.
Let's aim to all act just like them: like one big family.

The salamander has the means to put out any fire.
It's such a sight that for his court each king must one acquire.
