CENTICORE

This is the name that the French give to the creature known elsewhere in European heraldic tradition as the Yale. It has the breast and thighs of a lion, the ears, mouth and hooves of a horse, the muzzle of a bear and the voice of a man. The classical historian, Solinus, wrote that it came from the plains of India.
