Text Appearing Before Image:
d soon extinguish every living quadruped within the country itinhabited ; for its powers of scent, stealthy approach, crafty disposition, fertility inresources of over-reaching its prey, and the capability of ascending trees as nimblyas it runs upon the ground, places almost every living creature within its. grasp.Dreadful indeed would be its attacks were its powers increased many times,^ aswould be the case did numbers of such formidable animals consort and seek theirprey together. But nature is ever true to herself, and whenever any creature isendowed with special powers of destruction, it is held in check, as it were, by thebestowal of desire for a solitary existence. Beautiful and gentle indeed does thissavage animal appear, as depicted in the accompanying illustration, and we canalmost. hear its low-breathed purr of satisfaction as it enjoys the cooling influenceof the placid stream beneath its retreat, and slumbers away the sultry hours in itsaccustomed noonday siesta. PLATE IX.
Text Appearing After Image:
THE SIESTA, A TROPICAL BATHING-PLACE.
