Hay otros perros que se llaman tlalchichi, bajuelos, redondillos. Son muy buenos de comer.
\nHay otro animal, al cual llaman perro del agua, porque vive en el agua. Éstos son los que nosotros llamamos notrias. Es del grandor de un podenco. Tiene el pelo hosco, escuro y muy blando. No le entra el agua; no se cala del agua; deslízase el agua dél como si estuviese grasiento. Come este animal peces y todo lo que hay en el agua.
\nLos topos desta tierra son grandes, como grandes ratas. Tienen el pelo bermejo. Son carnudos y gordas de los pies bajos, casi que arrastra la barriga. Tiene la cola no muy larga. Tiene uñas largas y corvas. Tiene dientes, dos de la parte baxos, largos, y otros dos de la parte alta, también largos, y otros pequeños, de cada parte. Cerca déstos tiene recios dientes, los cuatro grandes. Son algo corvados. Tienen orejas pequenitas y redondas. Este animal es de comer y sabroso, y muy gordo. Y a quien roe sus huesos entomécensele los dientes, o hácesele dentera. Tiene corta vista, y a la claridad no ve nada. Hace cuevas
