Este animal [cuitlachtli] por la relación parece que es oso. Y si no es oso, no sé a qué animal se compare de los que conocemos. Es animal velloso, de larga lana. Tiene la cola muy vellosa, como la de la zorra, pero de color pardo escuro. Tiene la lana vedixosa cuando ya es viejo. Tiene las orejas pequeñas y angustas. Tiene la cara redonda y ancha. Casi retrae a la cara de persona. Tiene el hocico grueso. Tiene el anhélito ponzoñoso. Echa el anhélito para enponzoñar a lo que topa. El vaho o aire que echa es de muchos colores, como el arco del cielo. Es muy avisado, y pónese en acecho para matar o cazar.
\nEl león es del tamaño del tigre; no es manchado. Tiene el pelo también lezne. Y en el cuerpo es de la manera del tigre, sino que tiene las uñas mayores, y también pescuños muy largos. Es roxo escuro. Hay leones bermejos y otros blanquecinos. Éstos se llaman leones blancos.
