I also believe that the illustrations on the entire page should be analyzed before making a judgment. I don't think any animals are depicted, and I agree that the wavy lines are a symbol of the boundary of the cosmos, which is quite certain because we see it in countless medieval manuscripts.
Since I believe that the female figures are a representation of the fixed stars, it leads me to think that this strange scaly thing is an attempt to depict the sphere of the fixed stars as the boundary of the medieval universe. Only half a hemisphere is represented, but we see how it closes in on itself in an attempt by the author to suggest the entire sphere, a tiled sphere. We see these tiles in other cosmological sections of the Voynich Manuscript.
