" Two were observed near Talala ; is said to be common in the more open, 

 remote parts of the State. The shepherds tell me the wolves are very bold, 

 having little fear of man, and do much damage among the flocks during 

 both day and night ; at Moti Mojiti they frequently broke through a thick 

 fencing of thorns to get at the sheep and goats. I sat just outside one of 

 these sheep pens on several occasions when the moon served ; about 

 midnight two wolves appeared, and I fired at the foremost, which when 

 wounded, howled exactly like a dog ; thinking I had made a mistake, I 

 waited to have a smoke before following up. The animal had both forelegs 

 broken and made much noise in going away. I followed the sounds and 

 saw him lie down in some short grass, but though the moon was nearly full, 

 I was within ten yards before I could make out the wolf ; he attempted 

 to charge." — C. A. C.
