This is a facsimile version of “Libro de la utilidad de los animals” (The Book of the Usefulness of Animals: (Kitāb manāfi' al-hayawān). It is an illustrated Arabic bestiary crafted in 1354, probably in Syria. Each animal is introduced by a description of its characteristic features, habits, and reactions in various situations. Then follows an account of the different anatomical parts of the animal and their curative effects on humans. (From Facsimile Finder)
World Elephant Day was created to bring attention to the urgent plight of Asian and African elephants and to help conserve and protect elephants from the numerous threats they face.
