The problem that how to identify the icons in the pictures precisely has come up to us, as the importance of images and pictures in study of history being claimed in latest years. And the icons of animals, especially those were created by people as fictions, are facing a serious situation of hard to be identified. Usually, to identify an icon of a fiction animal, we depend on our experience built of books and historical materials.
