﻿PAPIO 
  137 
  

  

  ostrich 
  eggs, 
  and 
  of 
  late 
  years 
  they 
  have 
  taken 
  to 
  killing 
  and 
  disem- 
  

   bowelling 
  lambs 
  and 
  kids 
  for 
  the 
  sake 
  of 
  the 
  curdled 
  milk 
  in 
  their 
  

   stomachs. 
  

  

  "The 
  Chacma," 
  contines 
  Mr. 
  Sclater, 
  "is 
  frequently 
  seen 
  in 
  cap- 
  

   tivity, 
  and 
  examples 
  of 
  it 
  are 
  nearly 
  always 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  

   Zoological 
  Gardens 
  of 
  London. 
  When 
  young 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  delightful 
  pet, 
  full 
  

   of 
  intelligence 
  and 
  affection, 
  especially 
  towards 
  its 
  master, 
  though 
  

   sometimes 
  averse 
  to 
  strangers 
  ; 
  with 
  increasing 
  age 
  it 
  becomes 
  morose 
  

   and 
  dangerous. 
  Baboons 
  are 
  frequently 
  hunted 
  by 
  farmers 
  with 
  dogs 
  

   and 
  guns, 
  the 
  most 
  ordinary 
  procedure 
  being 
  to 
  surround 
  the 
  'kopje,' 
  

   where 
  they 
  are 
  known 
  to 
  be 
  sleeping 
  before 
  daylight; 
  they 
  defend 
  

   themselves 
  from 
  the 
  attacks 
  of 
  dogs 
  with 
  considerable 
  vigor, 
  often 
  

   inflicting 
  very 
  severe 
  wounds 
  with 
  their 
  long 
  eye 
  teeth, 
  which, 
  some- 
  

   times 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  old 
  males, 
  reach 
  a 
  length 
  of 
  two 
  inches."
