Framed Print of Manticore, Legendary Creature
A manticore in Ulisse Aldrovandi's Monstrorum Historia, 1642. Manticore from a Greek manuscript of Liber de proprietatibus animalium, 16th century. The manticore is a Persian legendary creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx. It has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of sharp teeth, and a trumpet-like voice. Other aspects of the creature vary from story to story. It may be horned, winged, or both. The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot poisonous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. It devours its prey whole and leaves no clothes, bones, or possessions of the prey behind. © New York Public Library / Science Source
