CAMELOPARD, or GIRAFF. 
The Camelopard is bred in Ethiopia 
India, Georgia, &c. The head of it is like 
a camel’s; its colour, for the most part, red 
mid white, beautifully mixed together, and 
the skin full of spots. It has two little horns 
Upon its head, of the colour of iron ; has a 
small mouth like a hart’s, a tongue near 
three feet long, and a neck of divers colours, 
ol'a very great length, which he holds higher 
than a camel's, and is far above the propor- 
tion of his other parts. His fore feet are 
Much longer than his hinder. His pace is 
different from all other beasts, for lie moves 
right and left feet together. This creature 
is like both a camel and a panther. The 
skin of this beast is very valuable, and its 
flesh is good meat.
