The Tarocco degli Animali is devoted to animals, big and small. The Major Arcana and court cards each feature a different animal which relates to the card meaning, while the pip cards display a symbol of the suit along with the card number.

The cards are narrow and slightly smaller than standard size. They are printed on a thick cardstock. The edges are rounded. The backs (of the U.S. version) have an interesting pattern which is reversible (shown below). Included is a title card and a folded sheet of general card interpretations of the Major Arcana (in Italian) that comes standard with many of the decks published by Il Meneghello. The U.S. distribution of this deck is a numbered, signed edition of 500, while the Italian version has 2000 numbered copies. The box is a sturdy slip cover style, with inner sleeve. It is out of print and hard to obtain.
