WILD MtJLE. 
Wild Mules always carry their heads hori- 
zontally; but, when they take to flight, they 
hold them upright, and eredl: their tails. Their 
neighing is deeper and louder than that of the 
Horse. 
They fight, like the Horses, by biting and 
\kicking : and are so fierce, and untameable, 
•that even those which have been taken young, 
Pennant asserts, cannot be broken by all the 
^arts which the wandering Tartars use for that 
•purpose. W ere it possible, however, to bring 
them into proper places, and provide all the 
conveniences known in Europe, the task, he 
admits, might probably be effe6l;ed: but he 
;suspe6ls that the subdued animal would not re- 
tain the swiftness for which it is so remarkable 
iin it's natural state. 
Such, indeed, is the celerity of the Wild 
Mule, that it is said to exceed that of the Ante- 
lope. It is even proverbial ; and the inhabi- 
tants of Thibet, from the fame of it's rapid 
•speed, mount on it their idol Chammo, or the 
;God of Fire. The Mongalians despair of 
tcver taking these Mules by the chace ; but lurk 
behind
