“Medieval Bestiary”

Inspired by the ancient illuminators who filled their manuscript margins with drawings of monsters they had never seen, and sculptures of exotic beasts in cathedrals, kids have a game where one of them describes an animal, without revealing what it is.

St. Jeronimo in Lisbon. The kids said, “Had they never seen a lion?”

The other draws and annotates in real time.

They call this “Medieval Bestiary.” It is exactly as horrifying as you might imagine.
