THE WOLF. 
138. The Wolf is found in various parts of the 
world, but chiefly in the temperate and cold lati- 
tudes. He is about three feet and a half long. 
His colour is a mixture of black, brown, and gray. 
His eyeballs are of a fiery green, which gives a 
fierce and formidable air to his whole visage. 
139. He is naturally dull and cowardly in his dis- 
position ; but necessity makes him bold, and he will 
attack sheep and lambs, and even dogs. When 
much pressed with hunger, he does not hesitate to 
fall upon man. The smell of his breath is exceed- 
ingly offensive, and his flesh so bad that it is re- 
jected by all other quadrupeds.
