The whole "looks like" argument is problematic. The VMs cosmos, White Aries, and Melusine are representative of examples where the artist has taken active steps to disguise the comparative historical images.
The VMs critter illustration consists of three parts. The middle part "looks like" a nebuly line. In medieval imagery, a nebuly line can represent a cosmic boundary. In the VMs cosmos the artist has used a nebuly line as a cosmic boundary. The animal representation that a medieval artist would associate with a cosmic boundary is most likely the lamb of the Agnus Dei. The example of BNF Fr. 13096 is a demonstration of the three-part solution and a structural match with the VMs.
