The eyes of a lion are always bright and 
fiery, even in death. T. he paws, teeth, and 
tongue, perfectly refemble thofe of a cat , 
and, in their internal parts, there is fcarcely 
any difference. 
His anger being noble, his courage mag- 
nanimous, his difpofition grateful, and his 
conquefls univcrfal overall other animals, he 
is juflly called the king of beafts. 
When hungry, he will attack any thing 
that comes in his way. His teeth are fo 
ftrong, that he breaks the bones of the 
ftrongefl animals, which he fwallows with 
the flefli. He requires about fifteen pounds 
of flefh per day, and feldom touches any pu« 
trid body. 
The PANTHER. 
T HIS beaft has been frequently miftaken 
for the tigei' ; which error arofe from its 
being nearly of the fame frie, poffelling the 
fame difpofition to cruelty, and a general 
enmity to the animal creation. Its chief dif- 
ference is in being fpotted, and not ftreaked 
as the tiger. 
H'he panther is found in Barbary, and all 
the intermediate countries in Africa, that lie 
between that and Guinea ; and is peculiai to 
Africa^
