If you're based in London there's a not insignificant chance that we know each other/have a big old overlap of friends. Are you secretly my friend??

ha! that'd be cool but probably not - i don't work in theatre, i work in TV and have occasionally done side projects, short films and such with actors who (like most in London) mainly live off theatre. feel free to prove me wrong though it'd be funny if i did know you

Some of those are certainly deliberate grotesques. The beaver, though, I fear is real. Big balls because beaver musk was itself a saleable commodity.

The beaver drawing was definitely based on a pelt, you can see where the cuts would have been

I really appreciate the attention to detail drawing both an anus and vulva on the crocodile, a creature that has neither

That's because the real reason these animals look weird is because they're stylized in order to convey ideas. Assuming medieval people drew wonky-looking animals out of sheer ignorance is like looking at a Mickey Mouse cartoon and saying "LOL, Walt Disney didn't know what mice looked like!"

E: Also, the 16th and 17th centuries are usually considered the Early Modern period, not the medieval period. Lotta people get that mixed up!

Wouldn't there be some ignorance with extremely foreign animals that it's hard to import, so chances to see them would be rare but the artist would have heard of them? Like, not the snail, but there's a lot of elephants in there that look like they're being vaguely based on boars and then edited to fit descriptions of elephants, and then there's one in the comments drawn from a live reference and it's a lot different. How much is contemporary cartoony stylization vs not having a reference for stuff like elephants and tigers?

I really like that rhino that has the shape down exactly but the artist drew the hide like ornamented armor. It's neat!

I firmly believe that Walt Disney was just a dipshit who didn't know what a mouse looks like.

It looks like it's based on Durer's earlier BEAUTIFUL rhinoceros picture.

Anyway, I sort of don't blame anyone for drawing crocodiles and hippos wrong. Imagine getting close enough for an accurate image. Brrr.

Actually, they didn't. Dissection was illegal. Everybody copied and recopied the philosopher Galen, died ~~ 200 CE. That's the reason that the drawings look so bad: the only time an artist saw the inside of human corpses was when decayed bodies were being moved from one graveyard to another. Anatomy classes were done by reading aloud from Galen while barber-surgeons dissected dead animals.

It was a big drat deal when people started doing detailed dissections, and recording the results, in the Renaissance. All hail Vesalius. Vesalius was the guy who realized that Galen hadn't been allowed to dissect humans, either; he'd dissected Barbary macaques, which Galen thought were as close to humans as he could find.
