Many Pliny was conflating dolphins and sharks? E.g., "his mouth is situated much below his muzzle, almost, indeed, in the middle of the belly" could be reasonably applied to a picture like this one: http://www.sharkwallpapers.net/bulkupload/wallpapers/Great%2... Maybe there are other animals mixed in there too. This seemed odd to me (although I'm far from a marine biologist):
"...would present his back for him to mount, taking care to conceal the spiny projection of his fins in their sheath..." |
