Apres avoir traite de l'homme, Pline passe aux animaux qu'il appelle terrestres par opposition aux animaux aquatiques et marins, aux oiseaux et aux insectes. On peut distinguer dans ce livre deux grandes parties: les animaux sauvages et exotiques (1-141), et les animaux domestiques et indigenes (142-224), quoi qu'il y ait quelques infractions a ce plan general. Dans le premier groupe, c'est surtout d'Aristote que Pline s'inspire; dans le second, il emprunte en outre largement a ses compatriotes qui ont traite des choses de la campagne, et notamment du betail, Varron et Columelle, pour ne nommer que les plus importants.
