(either: "It attacks with the utmost fury, tumbling and rolling over, biting and tearing and scratching, and shrieking with furious rage.", "It knows perfectly well that no one will try to kill it, or even to trap it, so it goes into the villages, visits the bazaars, and helps itself to anything to which it may take a fancy.", "This creature devours rats and lizards with great pleasure, never caring even for the bites of venomous snakes and experiencing no discomfort from them.", "Every creature it holds to be its inferior in strength. It is a deadly enemy.", "Frogs seem to be one of its favorite dainties, for it catches them in great quantities, and keeps them in its burrow by the dozen.", "When it hunts in packs, it also attacks horses and cattle, though these animals know how to defend themselves.", "It is said that hungry packs even attack bears and finally come out victorious in the deadly struggle.", "It certainly is a fact that it hunts every living thing that it thinks it can subdue. However, it always shuns Man, as long as it is possible to do so.", "It is said that out of one single flock, one thousand heads of sheep were lost in three months because of the depredations of this monster.", "Of friendship with other animals it knows as little as of companionship with its own species. It has been repeatedly observed to be on friendly terms even with its deadly foe, the dog, but these cases have certainly been rare exceptions.", "Hollows in trees or under their roots, caverns, dark, impenetrable thickets and swamps with dry islands afford it shelter and protection from Man, its deadly enemy.", "When hurried, it goes at a gallop, overtaking Man with ease, and in other respects displays a degree of speed and activity not generally credited to it.", "It is an excellent swimmer and climber, but in old age, when it is large and heavy, it gives up the latter accomplishment; or, at least, does not climb smooth trees devoid of boughs.", "Its powerful muscles and strong, hard talons much facilitate its climbing, and it will sometimes even mount very steep, rocky walls.", "Of its senses, hearing and smelling seem to be the most acute. Its sight is rather deficient, though its eyes cannot be called weak. Its sense of taste seems to be quite well developed.", "Among all peoples, those from the North seem to be those who not only know how to hunt it most successfully, but also how to put the $newMonsterNames to the most manifold uses.", "It is always violent when brought in contact with dogs; it snorts angrily and tries to drive the canine intruders away by clapping their teeth together.", "The expression of its eye is worthy of notice, as is also the fact, that when moved by emotions of any kind, it shed tears.", "In the large and very slightly protruding eyes the iris fills the entire space left open by the lids; the white of the eye is seldom seen.", "Its pupil is neither circular nor elliptical but four-cornered.", "Of its senses, that of hearing is excellent, in spite of the absence or small size of the external ear; sight and smell are less strongly developed.", "Its habits are nocturnal. It prefers to spend the day sleeping and basking in the sunshine, and then exhibit characteristics which are the reverse of those they display at night.", "It is established that the warnings of older beasts are heeded and acted upon by the younger ones.", "Besides Man, the $newMonsterNames have an enemy in the dog, before which all the smaller ones fly in abject terror.", "It is dangerous, as it swoops down on them as unexpectedly as a flash of lightning coming from a clear sky, takes up a young kid without the least ado and tries to drag larger creatures into some abyss, despite their resistance.", "When its passions are aroused, it often forgets the consideration of safety, which is usually uppermost with it. Its usual timidity is undoubtedly the result of its experience that Man is its most deadly foe.", "When kept in close confinement, or even when at liberty during the mating season, it frequently becomes irritated from the most trifling cause, and may attack even Man. Both ancient and modern books of hunting contain many stories of the $newMonsterName which have, without any apparent provocation, made injurious or fatal attacks upon people.", "During the mating season, most determined battles occur, the combatants using their antlers as weapons. There are instances on record where the antlers of the two participants in such combats have become so firmly interlocked that the $newMonsterNames have been unable to separate and have died in consequence.", "It will slay much larger beasts and then feast on the gigantic carcass for days.", "But Man is a much more deadly enemy to it than any monster.", "Frequenting the riverside, it looks for carrion washed ashore.", "If it does not find any carrion it confines itself to attacking defenseless prey, and therefore does damage only to the weaker domestic animals, in whose ranks it may make considerable havoc.", "The marauder eats every part of its prey but the skull.", "Probably they attack healthy living animals only when they cannot find sick, exhausted or dead ones.", "They are the vultures among quadrupeds, and their veracity is really extraordinary.", "When it finds carrion it forgets all considerations of prudence, and even the cowardice which it usually displays.", "It is told that these creatures engage in violent fights, and there is such a croaking, shrieking and laughing at such times that inhabitants of the infernal regions are let loose.", "It is useful in removing dead animals, but the loss it entails by attacking flocks is far greater, since the carcasses would, without its assistance, be taken away by far better scavengers among the birds and insects.", "It follows caravans, as if it knows that out of such bands something will surely fall to its share.", "This is, like the other species, a carrion eating animal, and the dispute over the possession of a bone is a very common occurrence.", "It does not affect woods, but delights in the open country. There is so much carrion, or bones at least, lying around in its native country, that it is seldom driven by hunger to boldly attack living animals.", "Its cowardice exceeds all bounds; still it sometimes enters villages and prowls around their outskirts.", "Carcasses put out by us as bait to decoy vultures within range of our weapons always attracted this beast during the night, and it annoyed us very much.", "When we were camping out, several often came sneaking up, and even entered the encampment.", "In spite of this animal's voracious importunity, nobody fears it, and it is really too cowardly to attack even sleeping people.", "It digs up the dead, unless the bodies are covered with ample sand or earth; and it is quite guilty of the ghoulish practices imputed to it by showmen.", "We put it in a stable and I visited it daily. At first it was addicted to vicious biting, but three months after the day of purchase I could play with it as I would with a dog, without having to fear any mischief on its part. Its affection for me increased every day, and it was overjoyed when I visited it.", "Its food is mainly animal, consisting of mammals and birds. It does not eat freshly killed meat in preference to carrion, showing in very many cases a considerable predilection for the latter, and a fondness for bones.", "It is very greedy and kills more than it can devour.", "It delights in the blood of its victims to the point of intoxication.", "The smaller species do us good service, as they catch rodents and insects or devour carrion and other noxious matter, also yielding their skin, fur and teeth for useful purposes.", "Sometimes it contents itself with following the lowest of prey.", "As soon as night has really set in, one hears a howl of many voices, highly piteous in character, resembling that of our dogs, but combining a much greater variety of sounds.", "Its melancholy howlings cannot be regarded as the expression of grief on the part of these animals, for they howl in a manner equally mournful when their food is plentiful, and they have every reason for expressing joyful satisfaction.", "The slight amount of useful service it performs is out of all proportion to the destruction wrought by it. It is useful in clearing away carrion and all kinds of vermin, but it does much harm by its insolent robberies.", "Not only does it devour everything edible, but it also steals all kinds of non-edible things in the house, tent, stable, and wagon, taking anything that strikes its fancy.", "Its thievish disposition is perhaps as great as its voracity. In the poultry-yard they slay with greed, and steal with all the insolence, if not the cunning, of the fox.", "According to circumstances, it may also attack a stray lamb or goat, pursue small game and plunder orchards and vineyards.", "Taken young, it can become very tame.", "It ranges throughout the whole continent and is rather common in all parts of it. It is considered the most dangerous foe of flocks and is hunted in every possible manner.", "It hides all day in its lair, in localities where it is not quite secure, and prowls around at night.", "It is said that families keep faithfully together, and that each family takes possession of an allotted range, never encroaching on the domain of another pack, nor suffering others to cross the boundaries they have appropriated for their own hunting grounds.", "It besieges the cities and villages, sometimes entering the streets, but never penetrating into a yard; for, if it did, it would be driven away by the dogs of the house.", "It feeds chiefly on carrion or occasionally upon small animals, especially mice and the like.", "It is sometimes kept by peasants but fed very little at home, and it prowls about at night, seeking food.", "Sounds of barking, howling, or quarreling are heard, according to the mood the $newMonsterNames are in.", "A large carcass always causes it to collect in great numbers; it is eaten up even to the largest bones by the hungry pack.", "If it is very hungry, it goes to the carrion even in the daytime, especially if its most disagreeable rivals, the vultures, should come down, and it fears their competition. It is possessed of professional envy to a high degree, and enters into violent combats with all uninvited guests.", "When carrion fails it, it undertakes long journeys, enters cities and prowls through the streets.", "As it clears away vast quantities of filth it is tolerated though not welcome guests, and nowadays it is probably very seldom that a pious man mentions them in his will, as is said to have happened not infrequently in former times.", "It is wont to regularly visit even those brooding-places of seabirds which are difficult of access, and levy a tribute on the surplus of eggs and nestlings, occasionally displaying great climbing abilities.", "It feeds on carrion as well as on fresh meat, and is said not even to disdain the carcass of another of its kind. In those regions which are frequented by hunters, carcasses of its kind deprived of skin and fat constitute a convenient and plentiful article of its diet.", "Its veracity is so well known that nothing need be said about it; all other qualities are really absorbed and overshadowed by it, with the sole exception of the unparalleled uncleanliness which has made it the object of the aversion of mankind.", "It is a queer fact that it always display a certain aversion towards dogs.", "Tame or wild, it has no scruples against eating all other sorts of carrion, but are said never to touch dog-flesh; on the other hand strange dogs are often attacked by a gangs of the $newMonsterName, and sportsmen and promenaders, who, with their dogs, visit villages where it is allowed to run abroad, do well in being cautious.", "It happens not infrequently, when the number of its progeny annoys it, that it eats some of them, this usually happens after it has smothered them by rolling over the young accidentally." )

(either: "I have never seen so ill-natured an animal. It rages at everybody who approached it, bit at the cage bar, looking around with ferocious eyes and shows its viciousness and ill-nature at every opportunity.", "Its thick-set, robust shape, its muscular arms, its face with its large, clever eyes all strike one as exceedingly human.", "All of its kind are gifted with exceedingly strong voices, which they use a great deal in the morning hours.", "It is protected on account of its supposed sanctity, for the locals dare not molest it.", "It is one of the greatest thieves in the world, robbing shops, houses and fields and standing in no dread of Man, whom it seems to regard as a sort of servant to provide for its greedy wants.", "It is connected in some way with the transmigration of souls.", "It seems that some think that after death their souls, as well as that of their king, enter the body of one of these creatures.", "Its face is decidedly humanlike.", "There are also a few deep sounds, reminding one of the roaring of a leopard, or the low grumble of an ox.", "A pack might roar, growl, bark, shriek, grunt and squeal in chorus.", "When a troop of these creatures is watching for enemies, sitting still, they all keep perfectly silent until something happens.", "In mature age it is a hideous beast in every respect, and its moral nature completely harmonizes with its physical characteristics.", "The body is very strong, bordering on clumsiness, the head is horrid, the teeth are formidable, the fur is rough, the color of the hairless spots vivid and repulsive.", "Its character is utterly spoiled. It accepts everything that pleased it, but is grateful for nothing.", "It boldly opposes Man, not openly, to be sure, but as a stealthy, cunning foe.", "Its cruelty and Man-eating propensities were not exaggerated.", "The large eyes have round pupils and are of a yellowish-brown color.", "So brilliantly adorned an animal would seem to be very conspicuous and easily detected by the very animals it pursues; but that is not the case.", "The keeper treats it as it would a good-natured domestic cat.", "For a long time it was thought to be the ancestor of ours, but closer investigation does not support this belief.", "At first it is tied in the vicinity of the home, and soon becomes completely at home in the house, where it makes it its business to catch the pests which infest these dwellings.", "It has a discriminating sensibility as to both color and sound, for it knows Man by its dress and by its voice.", "It possesses an excellent understanding of locality and practices it, for it prowls through an entire neighborhood, through basements and garrets and over roofs and hay-sheds, without bewilderment.", "It is an ideally local animal, and if the family moves it might easily decline to accompany them.", "It is a peculiar fact that the tricolored types, which in some localities are regarded as witches, and for this reason slain, are nearly without exception females.", "The hind feet have four toes attached to distinct metatarsal bones, and provided with strong, broad nails, which are rather short and nearly hoof-like.", "It has large eyes with circular pupils.", "It has tolerably large eyes with obliquely placed oblong pupils, more or less compressed and angular horns curving backward and outward.", "The pupils of which contract into narrow slits, look forth.", "The tail is generally long and prehensile, its snout is short and broad.", "The flesh is considered a delicacy, and, as the $newMonsterName attains a considerable size, it is eagerly pursued on this account.", "These animals are of exceedingly clumsy frame, the body heavy and stout, the neck thick and short, the head uncouth, the tail a small, nearly bare stub; the limbs are short and crooked, the feet five-toed and armed with long strong, curved claws.", "Of the five fore toes only the two or three middle ones are large and well developed, and they are armed with strong, curved claws.", "It is useless to file off their canine and incisor teeth to the roots and to cut their fangs from time to time, for they are so strong that they can do a great deal of mischief without these weapons.", "When fed a snake, it bit off a piece, but did not dare take it by the neck and kill it until about two hours later, when it carried the dead thing to the nest and ate it with evident pleasure, but not with avidity.", "I once gave it a slug, which was greeted with a sniff.", "Its sense of taste seems to be quite well developed.", "It likes to play in the common cage, but conducts itself there as an unconditional autocrat.", "When I would scratch this sympathetic fellow on its hindquarters, the cage rang with its merry peals of laughter.", "Two specimens which were kept housed in a cage in the Royal Zoological Gardens were very accomplished.", "Perhaps its narrow quarters in a cage and constant traveling combine to sour its tempers and limit its capacity for learning.", "If it soils its hands, it tries to clean them, and if it does not succeed, it comes to us with a human-like request to perform that office for it.", "It is a lovely and ill-natured little creature.", "It is the comedian, always ready for merry pranks, always in good humor, and in spite of its unlimited impudence.", "Every evening it is let loose in the yard and wildly romped and plays around until dusk, it comes in of its own accord to be locked up in its cage.", "It is fond of insects, but does not know how to distinguish between those that are poisonous and those that are harmless. Ignorance on this point caused three of mine to lose their lives.", "It is kept in a spacious cage, or in a room, but not chained up, as it entangles itself easily in ropes.", "When captive, it remains all day long in the darkest corner of their place of abode and sleeps, sitting with the legs drawn up, the body bent forward, and the face hidden in its crossed arms.", "Its eyes flash like a cat's or an owl's and they begin to walk around their cage and look for food.", "Its movements seem easy, though not graceful.", "Having been once tamed it soon becomes good friends with people and with other domestic animals, especially cats, with which it likes to play and to sleep, the latter probably because of the warmth afforded.", "It is forever protecting itself against the cold, carrying all the cotton and rags it can get hold of to a corner of its cage, and covering itself with it.", "A pretty sight is afforded when the $newMonsterName, lying on its bed, is approached by the keeper, bearing some sweet morsel, for which it extends daintily forward.", "At sunset it awakes, stretches itself and noiselessly walks to and fro in its cage.", "Its habits are nocturnal, and in captivity it is prone to seek the dark portion of its cage by day.", "At dusk it rouses itself; first looking around with eyes yet full of sleep, rubs them, and then begins to wander about the cage.", "Whenever I approach the cage it expresses its dissatisfaction by grinning, showing its teeth and sometimes hissing.", "Whenever I approach an inch nearer than usual, it watches for an unguarded moment and tries to give me a blow with its claws.", "As soon as it enters the yard, it begins to act as if mad; it jumps, stretches itself, hisss and looks wildly around.", "The longer I make its chain the greater its rage.", "Its eyes threaten danger and death to all the rest of the $newMonsterNames.", "With all its might, it tries to break its chain, and I must confess that several times we were afraid it would succeed.", "The most difficult task is to get it back into its cage. It will not go of its own accord, and we cannot compel it to do so.", "Threats are of no avail; when we show it the whip, it shows us its jaws; when we shout at it, it hisses back; when we attempt to approach it it crouches down ready for a jump.", "Generosity and gratitude are emotions unknown to it; it shows no permanent attachment for its keeper, nor for any animal that has been brought up with it, and therefore there is great risk in keeping it outside of a cage after it is a year old.", "Forgetful of all former castigations, it will spring at other animals at every opportunity and then nothing can keep it from killing. For this reason it is kept in a cage.", "No zoological garden has as yet succeeded in taming the ferocious little beast beyond mere toleration of the presence of its keeper in its cage.", "In captivity it is kept in special stables or cages and is fed with meat and poultry.", "To obtain the perfume, the $newMonsterName is tied to the stakes of its cage; the pouch is turned out with the fingers.", "One day it left its cage and killed a falcon in its nest, eating the head, neck and part of the breast.", "I offer it many kinds of food over the course of time and find that it prefers small birds to everything else.", "Once, I let it go hungry and then tempted it with a frog, a lizard and a snake. It paid no attention to them; neither did it care for a young raven.", "It is kept in a cage, the hay and straw are frequently changed and it is protected from the cold in winter.", "Traditionally it is fed on bread and milk, but a diet of tender flesh of freshly killed animals is much more conducive to its health.", "My chamber is the place of its residence and I have found a method of dispelling its strong odor by perfumes.", "By day it sleeps in a quilt, during the night it is kept in a cage which it always enters with reluctance and leaves with pleasure.", "If it is set at liberty before my time of rising, after a thousand playful little tricks, it gets into my bed, and goes to sleep beside me.", "If I am up first, it spends a full half-hour caressing me, playing with my fingers like a little dog, nuzzling my head and my neck with a lightness and elegance which I have never found in any other animal.", "When it was put in a large cage and saw that there was no escape for it, the $newMonsterName did not suffer any one to approach toward the cage without jumping to the bars, biting viciously, and uttering the sound described above in a long trill resembling the weeping.", "It feels secure in the cage, and does not even fear the dog, and the two animals bark into each other's faces, each on its own side of the bars.", "When I put the fingers of a glove through the bars it bites at and rips them.", "When it is very angry (and so little a cause as disturbing its sleep was sufficient to rouse its ire), all the hairs of its long neck stand on end.", "In general, the $newMonsterName is very wicked.", "It detests music. If one plays on a guitar in front of its cage, it jumps against the bars as if insane, and barks and hisses as long as the playing continues.", "It never tries to use its claws for the laceration of its prey, but always uses its teeth.", "When the $newMonsterName had been four and one-half months in my possession, I tried for the first time to pet it, having gloves on. It bit into them.", "At first it tried to evade my caresses, but later it seemed to like them, lying down on its back and closing its eyes.", "The fur of the $newMonsterName is not very expensive, but is still highly valued for its beauty. In olden times it was used only by princes, but now it is more common.", "All day long it lies curled up on a bundle of hay in the cage. At night it prowls around in its spacious dwelling, and several times has left it.", "The first time it escaped its cage, I found it hidden in a corner of a room.", "Whenever it succeeds in freeing itself during the night, I always find it on its hay in the morning, as if it has undertaken its nocturnal wanderings with a view to relaxation rather than with the intention of escape.", "Late in the evening, never before sunset, it quits its bed and prowls around in the cage. This it does every night, and thus explains the ignorance that prevails concerning its habits; for who can follow the it in the dark of night in its favorite haunts.", "When play is over, it trips through the cage, sniffs in all corners, throws the dishes containing food and water over and vexes the honest washerwoman who has to clean its cage, displaying a great liking for the investigation of things which do not in the least concern it.", "It is capable of domestication and affection, especially if it is fed mainly a carrion diet. It may become so tame as to follow its keeper about and return to its cage at command.", "For hours it lies like a log; then it jumps up, looks at people with a remarkably dull-witted expression, rubs itself against the bars from time to time and then breaks out with its abominable laughter.", "When it catches sight of its friends, it leaps with joy, comes to the bars of its cage to be petted. But it never licks anybody's hands; at the most, only sniffs them.", "When left alone, it is very miserable and relieves its feelings by a pitiful howl; but when it has company, it ill-treats the $newMonsterNames, unless they are better biters than itself.", "the $newMonsterName has learned to speak (a noteworthy accomplishment) and uses the newly-acquired language to good advantage.", "When a door near the cage is opened and it hears its untamed comrades produce long-drawn, laughing tones, the tamed animal always joins the chorus with a truly dog-like howl.", "I am of the opinion that the progeny of these beasts might be trained to be very useful companions to Man.", "It does not very well tolerate others of its own kind in its cage.", "In our cages the $newMonsterName proves to be very different, at least in so far as my experiences go: it seems stupid, though anything but good-natured, rather exhibiting an obstinate, wicked temper.", "It rarely makes friends with its keeper, in spite of the best of care.", "It may on occasions go to the length of romping around, but still captivity is never to its taste." )
