Tenacity of Life. The tenacity of life of a boar 

 is extraordinary. The idea of a pig getting away 

 wounded to die in pain is hateful ; with every care 

 it must happen occasionally. If there is any 

 consolation, it is in the thought that pig do recover 

 from terrible wounds. I have several times seen 

 a pig killed that had only three legs. In the Terai 

 I killed a pig who bid fair to recover from a gun- 

 shot wound, apparently some days old, that had 

 taken away nearly all one shoulder-blade.
