Woodcut from Gesner's 16th century zoological work, Historiae animalium, depicting a sea creature sighted between Antibes & Nice in 1562. The original text reads: "The Rubus is a fish of the Greek sea & of the seas of Italy. They are round like a ring, & have many red spots & are full of sharp fins & spikes. He is a slow swimmer because he is so big. He goes to the ground, & waits there for prey, & whatever fish he gets he buries in the sand. It is very delicious fish to eat."
