What prey is it hunting?
This is from Pontifical of Guillaume Durand (Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, ms. 143, fol. 165r). This image is a hare, riding a greyhound, with a snail being held as if it were a hunting hawk. If that isn't weird enough, folio 76v has a cat, being ridden by a rat with a trained hunting starling.
