We love to laugh at medieval bestiaries, with their odd images drawn by clueless artists from secondhand descriptions and the accompanying text that appears to be based on assumptions swallowed whole or just made up on the spot. You can have a never-ending supply of these with the generator called An Abundance of Beasts. The images and text are drawn from Medieval Bestiary: Animals In The Middle Ages website and from the 13th-century book Bodleian Library Bestiary.
But be aware that the image and text are not linked. Sometimes you get an animal with a description that could plausibly be about the animal pictured, even though we all know the description is very wrong. They all are. But sometimes they are so different you cannot help but laugh. Once you've seen a fair amount of these, you'll want to go check out the sources, too. -via Nag on the Lake
