Although I can appreciate the usefulness of the second image posted in this thread, I really don't see what the rest have to do with "browsing" Aries.
Also, personally, I stay away from comparing medieval depictions of animals to modern photographs. So many medieval depictions of animals look nothing like the actual animal the artist meant to show, even among when drawing species that should have been familiar to them.
I posted a drawing in the Voynich Humor thread a little while ago that shows a medieval horse with paws. It's just a horse, nevermind that it has paws. We could spend ages looking for a species of horse that has paws, and argue over it, but at the end of the day it's just a horse. The better question is where are horses drawn with paws at a similar time?
To make a parallel which makes the futility of this obvious: shall we try to identify, from photographs, which type of insect is meant by the Voynich Scorpio? Or look for photos of a subspecies of feline that has blue dots and a pointy tongue to match Leo?
