Description
Title taken from caption of woodcut.
Woodcut of an Ethiopian animal named the Huspalim. The image shows the Huspalim being clubbed by Ethiopians. It is about the size of a marmot, with red spotted skin. It subsists on wind, and its flesh must be heavily beaten before it is tender enough to be eaten.
