biomedicalephemera:

freakyfauna:

From Das thierleben in Schönbrunn, Martin Gerlach Verlag (1904).
Photography by A. Karl Schuster.

Found here.

I have the Carnivora plate and the Reptile/Amphibian plate from this book, but I love Caprinae too much not to reblog this - the goat-antelopes (caprids) are some of my favorite ruminants.

I don’t have the labels, but from what I can recall, it looks like the top plate has (among others) the Barbary sheep (bottom left), an alpine or Siberian ibex, a mouflon, an Arabian tahr, a bighorn sheep, a bharal, and, um, something else.

Anyway, it’s a bunch of cool horns, go marvel at them…and think about the Carnivora right below hunting them down :D
