 THE LEOPARD 
 
 Is spotted all over, and 
 looks and mews like a 
 cat He is very crue!, 
 and runs very fast. His 
 skin is almost yellow. 
 He hides himself till some 
 creature comes along, and 
 then springs upon it, and 
 kills it. The Leopard is 
 mentioned many times in 
 the Bible.
 
 THE TIGER 
 Is almost as large as the 
 Ion, and his skin is cover- 
 ed with stripes. He is a 
 beautiful animal, but very 
 cruel. He sometimes kills 
 a great many cattle at 
 once, and is so strong as to 
 drag away a large ox with 
 his teeth. The roar of the 
 tiger is very dreadful, but he 
 cannot hurt any one whom 
 (jrod takes care of
 
 THE LION 
 Is SO large and bold, thai 
 he is called, "the kuig of 
 beasts;" and he is so strong, 
 that he can break the back 
 of a horse, by striking it 
 with his paw; and he 
 carries a young heifer or 
 a small cow about, just as 
 a { '"i carries a rat. One 
 lion ?- London lived to 
 be n.urly seventy years 
 old.

 THE CAMEL 
 
 Is a very useful creature. 
 He is sometimes higher 
 than a horse, and has lon^: 
 slender legs, and two bunch- 
 es on his back. His hair is 
 soft, and feels like wool ; and 
 his feet are made so as to 
 walk in the sand. He goes 
 a great while without drink- 
 ing. A camel can walk 
 thirty miles in a day.

 THE BEAR 
 
 Is not usually larger than 
 a large dog. He has 
 small eyes, and short ears, 
 and very long feet or 
 paws. His hair is thick 
 and soft. He catches a 
 man or an animal between 
 his front paws, and breaks 
 the bones, and then tears 
 it in pieces and eats it. 
 The bear can swim and 
 climb trees ; and his skin 
 makes muffs and hats.
 
 THE RHINOCEROS 
 
 Is the same animal with the 
 Unicorn. His body is large, 
 his legs short and thick, 
 and his skin very hard. 
 With the horn that grows 
 just over his nose, he can 
 split a tree into thin pieces ; 
 and liis jaws are so strong 
 that he can twist the 
 branches of the tree aboiit^ 
 just as an ox can twist a 
 carrot or a root of celery. 
 God created him, and God 
 can destroy him.

 THE ELEPHANT 
 
 Is the largest animal at the 
 show. He is very high and 
 long. He has no hair and 
 the colour of his skin, is like 
 the colour of a mouse. He 
 has two large teeth or tusks, 
 of which ivory is made, and 
 with his trunk, which comes 
 from his head, and almost 
 touches the ground, he can 
 untie a knot, or open a door 
 He is one of the " Wonder 
 ful works of God."
