i was reading a book called "historiae naturalis" when i found this creature, idk nothing about it, someone know what it is?
I read old naturalist books sometimes and on occasion the author includes illustrations of fantasy animals that don't actually exist.
That, or it's just a deformed bird.

The first depiction of a sloth could have looked like this, if we had discovered the Americas a few centuries earlier.
