***

The sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps, whether swimming vigorously, gamboling amid the waves, attacking ships, or simply displaying themselves for our appreciation, are one of the most visually engaging elements on these maps, and yet they have never been carefully studied. The subject is important not only in the history of cartography, art, and zoological illustration, but also in the history of the geography of the "marvelous" and of western conceptions of the ocean. Moreover, the sea monsters depicted on maps can supply important insights into the sources, influences, and methods of the cartographers who drew or painted them. In this highly-illustrated book the author analyzes the most important examples of sea monsters on medieval and Renaissance maps produced in Europe, beginning with the earliest mappaemundi on which they appear in the 10th century and continuing to the end of the 16th century.

“[B]eautifully illustrated. . . . People interested in maps, cryptozoology, folklore, and arcane zoology and zoological history will want to check it out.” ― Scientific American

“Medieval and Renaissance map scholar, Chet Van Duzer, backed by the British Library as publisher, have teamed up to produce a spectacular new book, Sea Monsters on Medieval and Renaissance Maps, a topic, oddly enough, for which there is little by way of real precedent. This book will become the sea monster authority by default. Although this beautiful book is a product of academic quality, it is very readable and accessible and requires no prior knowledge.” ― BibliOdyssey

Not durable
Style: Large - Red
I have trouble finding good chew toys for my dog becs there is a problem with everything. Rawhide is dangerous, bully sticks can cause infections, etc. I devised a system where I mix my dog's regular dry food with water, run it through the blender, and freeze it. I have a few bone molds where you can take the ice out fully, which work much better. I thought this would be good for him to lick. Unfortunately, once he was done licking, he began to chew the edges of the bone on this toy, and he was able to EAT little pieces off. I have a 23 lb. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, so he's not exactly a rough and tumble kind of dog. I noticed little red flakes in his poop, so this went in the trash.

Great Toy for a Hot Dog!
One if not my dogs favorite toys! We have a long haired mini dachshund and she loves material and squeakiness of this toy. She’s a texture girl so loves the ruffles of the middle part that stretches.
