Answer:

GIRAFFE (KAMELOPARDALIS)

Pliny the Elder, Natural History 8. 69 (trans. Rackham) (Roman encyclopedia C1st A.D.) :

"The Aethiopes (Ethiopians) give the name of Nabun to one that has a neck like a horse, feet and legs like an ox, and a head like a camel, and is of a ruddy colour picked out with white spots, owing to which it is called a Camelopardalis (Giraffe); it was first seen at Rome at the games in the Circus given by Caesar when dictator. From this it has subsequently been recognised to be more remarkable for appearance than for ferocity, and consequently it has also got the name of ‘wild sheep.’"

KAMELOPARDALIS Giraffes, the semi-legendary "camel-leopards", were only known to the ancients from fanciful travellers' tales prior to the introduction of a captive specimen in the Roman Circus.

Camelopardalis is a large but faint constellation of the northern sky representing a giraffe. The constellation was introduced in 1612 or 1613 by Petrus Plancius. Some older astronomy books give Camelopardalus or Camelopardus as alternative forms of the name, but the version recognized by the International Astronomical Union matches the genitive form, seen suffixed to most of its key stars.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Reldresal cannot believe that someone like Gulliver could live in the same world as him, giving no chance to other realities.

Explanation:

Reldresal is a character from Gulliver's Travels, a book by Irish writer Jonathan Swift. He is known by his satirical works. Satire is defined as the use of irony or sarcasm to criticize people's vices in a political context.

Gulliver's Travels narrates the man character's trips to different places, such as Lilliput and Blefuscu, which were two rival islands. Reldresal is Gulliver's friend in Lilliput, and he is the principal secretary for private affairs.

In this case, the quote in the question satirizes small-mindedness since the secretary cannot believe that something bigger than the reality he knew could be happening in the same world. He even says that a hundred mortals like Gulliver would destroy Lilliput in a short time; meaning that they could destroy everything very fast. This way, Reldresal shows that he doesn't give a chance to different realities.
