  In this post, I identify the animal on folio 80v as a falcon (not an armadillo or dragon, etc). I also draw connection with Chaucer's story of The Squire's Tale - in which a princess receives a magical ring that gives her the ability to understand all animals and to know the curing power of herbs, which she uses to heal an injured falcon. Please follow the link for the full explanation. 
  
  I am not necessarily saying that this story of Chaucer's appears in the Voynich, but that perhaps they both drew of an earlier tradition....but also that this animal is totally a falcon. 
  
  Your thoughts?
  
  All the best,

  The animal in the VMS has three visible legs, and a fourth is hidden by its body. Unfortunately, that contradicts your theory
