Summary

Description
English: Drawing of Andrias scheuchzeri (an extinct giant salamander) by Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672-1733). Scheuchzer interpreted the fossil as a man drowned in the biblical Deluge (Homo diluvii testis), he saw it as prove for floodgeology. The fossil was later recognized for what it is by Georges Cuvier.
Français : Dessin d'un Andrias scheuchzeri, espèce éteinte de lézard géant, par le naturaliste suisse Johann Jakob Scheuchzer (1672-1733). Scheuchzer voulut interpréter ce fossile comme étant celui d'un homme noyé lors du Déluge biblique (d'où le nom de Homo diluvii testis), et y vit l'entérinement de la théorie du déluge. Le fossile, conservé au musée Teyler de Haarlem (Pays-Bas), fut ultérieurement reconnu pour ce qu'il était par Georges Cuvier.
