WOLF. 
Dogs — -the great Dane or mongrel Greyhound, 
for instance — it will appear to have the legs 
shorter, the head larger, the muzzle thicker, 
the eyes smaller and more separated from 
each other, and the ears shorter and fliraighter. 
It seems in every respe6i: stronger than the 
Dog; and the superior length of the hair aids 
this appearance. I'he visage of the AVolf is 
most distinguished from that of the Dog, by 
the eye ; which opens slantingly upwards, in 
the same ,dire6^ion with the nose, while that 
^of the Dog opens more at right angles with 
the nose, as in man. The colour of the eye- 
balls, which are of a fiery green, give a fierce 
-and^fonuidable air to the WolPs aspe6l. 
The Wolf possesses strength, speed, agility, 
and cunning, to. obtain largely the animal 
food on which it preys ; yet, in sjiite of these 
advantages, it is said frequently to pferish for 
want of sufficient provision. , The. terror of 
the hpman race, and destru6tive to domestic 
aniimlsr, man has every where set a price, oii
