THE HOG. 



Wild Boar. 



- The animals composing the Hog tribe are found in almost every part of the globe. Their feet are cloven 

 and externally resemble those of the ruminants, but an examination of the bones at once points out the 

 difference. The Wild I log or Boar inhabits many parts of Europe, especially the forests of Germany, 



where the chase of 



the Wild Boar is a 



common amusement. 



Its tusks are terrible 



weapons, and capable 



of being used with 



fatal effect. The}' 



curve outwards from 



the lower jaw. and 



are sometimes eight 



and ten inches in 



length. In India, 



where the Boar at- 

 tains to a great size, 



the horses on which 



the hunters are 



mounted often refuse 



to go within striking 



distance of the boar.
