the trochilus, a tiny little bird, runs at once to its mouth and, having hopped in among its teeth, pecks the leftover food from within and from without, and thus, teasing it with delightful pleasure, invites it to open its whole mouth, and so it falls asleep. Seeing this, the ichneumon suddenly hurls itself into its mouth and, having pierced its stomach and its bowels, at last kills it. It is like the green lizard, or ghezzo.

Dolphin

Nature has given such awareness to the animals that, beyond knowing their own advantage, they know the disadvantage of their enemy; hence the dolphin understands how much the cut of the spines set upon its back is worth, and how tender is the belly of the crocodile; so, in their combat, it thrusts itself beneath it and cuts open its belly, and thus kills it.

The crocodile is terrible to whoever flees, and most cowardly to whoever hunts it.
