On a tree near these is the Glutton (Ursus Gulo). 



A voracious animal, inhabiting the northern parts 

 of Europe, Asia, and America: it preys on deer, 

 hares, and the smaller quadrupeds, frequently con- 

 cealing itself among the branches of trees, from 

 whence, springing on the shoulders of whatever 

 passes, it adheres firmly to them, till they drop from 

 fatigue or loss of blood. Their skins are valuable as 

 fur.
