FOOD OF VARIOUS ANIMALS AND BIRDS 
HYiENAS. 
No difficulty is experienced in feeding these animals. 
The roughest of animal substances ; the bones are de- 
voured as well as the skin and flesh. 
WOLVES AND FOXES {CANID JE). 
Wolves and foxes are kept with great ease. They like 
fresh food, but are not very particular as to what it may 
be ; small birds and small animals are however better for 
them than the larger kinds. The wolves can, however, 
tear up and devour the larger kinds of game ; consequently 
the flesh of the horse or any other animal will not come 
amiss to them. The smaller and more delicate foxes 
especially the “Fennec,” require small animals, and eat 
even insects and fruit. In captivity bread-and-milk and 
cooked tripe is excellent food for them in lieu of small 
birds and mice. 
BADGER {MELES)-^ RATED {MELLIVORA). 
These animals will thrive well on raw or boiled flesh ; 
bread- or rice-and-milk, sweetened with sugar or honey. 
f 
KINKAJOU {CERCOLEPTES). 
Sweet bread-and-milk, boiled rice, honey, fruit ; rarely 
animal food. 
GRISON AND TAYRA. 
May be fed and treated as stated for ichneumon {Her- 
;pestcs) and civet cats ( Vivem-idcF).
