<Li> Camelopardalis, occurs only once in the D.V. (Deuteronomy 14: 5), as a translation of zémér . The word, a mere transcription of the Latin and the Greek, is a combination of the names of the camel and the leopard, and indicates the giraffe . But this translation, as well as that of the A.V. (chamois), is doubtless erroneous; neither the giraffe nor the chamois ever lived in Israel . The wild sheep or mouflon, which still lingers in Cyprus and Arabia Petrala, is very likely intended . </Li> <Li> Cankerworm, the locust in its larva state, in which it is most voracious . So does A.V. render the Hebrew, gãzám; the word palmerworm, given by the D.V. seems better . </Li> <Li> Cat .--Mention of this animal occurs only once in the Bible, namely Bar., vi, 21 . The original text of Baruch being lost, we possess no indication as to what the Hebrew name of the cat may have been . Possibly there was not any; for although the cat was very familiar to the Egyptians, it seems to have been altogether unknown to the Jews, as well as to the Assyrians and Babylonians, even to the Greeks and Romans before the conquest of Egypt . These and other reasons have led some commentators to believe that the word cat, in the above cited place of Baruch, might not unlikely stand for another name now impossible to restore . Moreover, the deuterocanonical Book of Jeremiah mentions the cat. ((Citation needed)) </Li> <Li> Cattle .--Very early in the history of mankind, animals were tamed and domesticated, to be used in agriculture, for milk, for their flesh, and especially for sacrifices . Many words in Hebrew expressed the different ages and sexes of cattle, West of the Jordan River the cattle were generally stall - fed; in the plains and hills south and east they roamed in a half - wild state; such were the most famous "bulls of Basan". </Li>
