WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY 



animal is well worthy of consideration : the sides of the 

 rump, and also from the top of the shoulders downwards, 

 are thick folds of skin, which are much harder on those 

 parts than elsewhere, and hang about in the same position 



and manner as the plates on the same parts of the Indian 

 rhinoceros. 



Having placed with the male of this animal two or 

 three young sows of the Berkshire breed, I have succeeded 

 in obtaining a mixed race. These half-bred pigs very 

 closely resemble the male, being black with white feet, 

 and exhibit the -ivrinkles on the face, but in a less 

 degree.
