Summary

Description
English: (Top) unlabeled, assumed to be a manticore. (Bottom) "leucrocotta" (or "leucrocuta", "leucurcuta",[1] etc.).

Note also that these two beasts appear on the same page in Johannes Johnston's Historiae Naturalis[1] (cf. uploaded manticore and leucrotta images from it)

Part of a collection of original drawings amassed by Gessner (some of which he used for his woodcuts in Historiae animalium and other works); the loose sheets were annotated and collated into "albums" by Felix Platter.
