notes:
The snake at right is possibly a coral snake. The snake in the middle resembles the so-called "feathered serpent" of the Aztec or Mexican people. The snake at left may be a rattlesnake. Baboons are native to Africa, this may be a howler monkey. The other animal resembles the three-toed sloth illustrated by Juan Eusebio Nieremberg, Historia natvrae, Antwerp, 1635. Image may be derived from Arnoldus Montanus, De nieuwe en onbekende Weereld, Amsterdam, 1671.
