Then again, compared to 11thC Anglo-Saxon drawing of an elephant, it's not bad really.... ;) http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2013/04/how-the-camel-got-the-hump.html …pic.twitter.com/xEYlqX8pH6
@caitlinrgreen Something Wm.Blakeish abt it.
The consensus seems to be a bird, not a croc...! :)https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/721440335663087616 …
Ok, next one.... Roman-era crocodile (Sobek?), lizard, or... dinosaur? :) Found Cheshire: https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/243319 …pic.twitter.com/v1o3sUv0E2
@caitlinrgreen Fish swimming left to right ? By the tail, maybe a pike ?
@vulturedave could be! :)
@caitlinrgreen would Romans be aware of duck-billed platypi? ;) (or is it -pusses?)
@CatherineEsse Hmmmm *ponders Roman-era Antipodean expeditions!*
@caitlinrgreen strewth... ;)
@CatherineEsse According to Étienne de Rouen's Draco Normannicus, c.1169, after Camlann Arthur went south to rule over the Antipodes.... ;)
@caitlinrgreen maybe a goose or duck? or a pangollin?
@S__Bleakley it does seem more like those than a croc...!
@caitlinrgreen @ubookman
What has two legs, feathers, & a platypus snout?
@seceedercat @ubookman Hmmm... a crocodile...?! ;)
@caitlinrgreen it's a duck
@rogueclassicist Not a feathered, duck-billed crocodile? :( ;)
@caitlinrgreen It looks like a bird to me. Beak, feather like back and 2 legs. What do you think?
@TimoOiva I'm not wholly convinced by crocodile, have to admit!
@caitlinrgreen Looks like a bird to me!
@FHawksworth It's a rather curious little thing!
@caitlinrgreen It is. Perhaps someone's practise piece?
