Edward Topsell (c. 1572 – 1625) was an English cleric and author best remembered for his bestiary. Topsell, repeating ancient legends, assigns exotic attributes to actual animals. He writes, for example, that: Weasels give birth through their ears. Lemmings graze in the clouds. Elephants worship the sun and the moon and become pregnant by chewing on mandrake. Apes are terrified of snails.
