notes:
Text describes an animal hunted for its fur by the native Americans, which lived by rivers, put its young on it back when threatened, and had a terrible cry. The same woodcut is used in Thevet's Cosmographie universelle (leaf 1002 recto) to illustrate a "succarath" (a ground sloth or puma?). Thevet, a Franciscan monk , traveled to Brazil with Nicolas Durand, chevalier de Villegagnon, stayed only ten weeks, and wrote Les singularitez from his own observations and those of others.
