Dragons, Dogs & Amadillos?

[MarcoP]

Here is my translation of the Karabo paragraph:

Karabo is a monster of the great sea, which is called Gabari. As Aristotle says, these monsters fight violently against each other, as rams, providing themselves of a multitude of allies on the opposing[?] sides. They are frequently seen walking like herds, dividing to move war against each other. Indeed there are four causes of war in animals. The first cause is natural pride, which is predominant in all animals. The second cause for which they fight is food, the third mating, the fourth offspring. Indeed, for offspring different kinds of animals fight each other, like chickens with birds of prey and geese with crows. Karabo is made filthy by its food: it lives on manure and mud, and it is also a large animal. And when its belly is cut open, much mud is found inside it. Karabo has a large tail, so that, when it fights, it can more easily turn itself.
