Picture of an articulated Steller’s Sea Cow skeleton on display at the National Museum of Natural History. The photo is taken from slightly below and off to the side so you can see the length of the vertebral column and the many robust ribs along its trunk. Watermark reads: Family-Dugongidae, Hydrodamalis gigas, D.G. Huckaby, American Society of Mammalogists – Mammal Images Library
Woodcut print of an Aurochs made by David Kandel from Sebastian Münster's La Cosmographie printed in 1550. The illustration is of a very thick-bodied aurochs with short but stocky legs. The head holds massive wavy horns twice the length of the snout. A long hairy beard dangles from the animals chin. A powerful thick neck with extra folds of flesh supports the head. The woodcut shows a town and mountains in the background.
