Pond creatures (f79v)

[ReneZ]

I'm wondering if this one might be a pig.

Ah, of course you're right.
The word next to the animal is barely readable but seems to be the same as the title of the page, which is
Balneum de 'scrufa'.  All baths in the 'balneis' have there own name, usually named after a person.

Now Latin 'scrufa' means nothing to me, but Italian 'scrofa' means sow, female pig.

The animal is just there because of the name.
It's hard to see how a similar association could apply in the case of the Voynich MS illustration, with its many different
animals.
