CARNIVORA.

THE GLUTTONS. 
One subdivision, or small tribe of plantigrade car- 
nivorous animals, possesses teeth, and consequently 
habits of regimen, much more nearly allied to the 
weasels than to the preceding subdivision, and may 
be considered as the intermediate link between the 
digitigrades and plantigrades; possessing most of 
the physical powers and moral characters of the 
former, combined with the step and mode of loco- 
motion peculiar to the latter. 
These animals have six cutting teeth ; long and 
angular canine teeth ; and six cheek-teeth, three, 
and sometimes four of them, anterior to the principal 
carnivorous, which is the penultimate. The last of 
the six is small and tuberculated ; and the great 
carnivorous tooth has one small tubercle, but with 
this exception is completely cutting.
