Try to guess, which animals are harnessed.Easier to say who is absent: probably only the pig and the elephant. You can find there harnessed bulls, goats, horses (not so much), probably other equids, rams, even camels. As a rule the teams are unpaired, i.e. with 2 animals of different species. A crazy picture, isn't it?


Interesting. Wasn't Fricka's chariot drawn by rams? Or was that Balder's wife? Goats, as I remember, can be trained to draw carts (as can dogs); I don't think camels would be too cooperative (or rather, are not too anatomically-adapted to the chore).
