is annulated with black and yellow, so that the fur has a greenish 
brown hue. Its voice has a resemblance to the lion’s roar. - No 
art or kindness can subdue the brutal propensities of this animal, 
and its immense strength renders it an object of perpetual dread 
to its keepers. ' It usually feeds on fruit and nuts, but, though 
not, strictly speaking, a carnivorous animal, will eat cooked meat. 
his animal inhabits the hottest parts of Africa and Asia, 
where it is found in great number. It is about five feet 
high, exceedingly strong, vicious and impudent, and is dis- 
tinguished by a longer tail than the rest of its kind. Its head is 
very large, with a long and thick muzzle ; eyes small, face naked 
and of an olive color; the hair on its forehead is separated in the 
middle and hangs down on each side of the face, and from thence 
down the back to the waist; the hair on the lower part of the 
body is short, and its buttocks are bare and red.
