--- MANTICORA

The Manticora is one of the strange imaginings of our forefathers. In the illustration in the book (of which our figure is a reproduction) it has a human head and face and a body like that of a lion ; a thick mane covers the neck ; its tail is much longer in proportion than that of a lion, and has at its extremity a most formidable collection of spiky-looking objects ; these in the description are said to be stinging and sharply-pointed quills. He is as big as a lion. " His voice is like a small trumpet. He is so wild take a whelp of this beast they -bruise its tail to prevent it bearing the sharp quills ; then it is tamed without danger."
