THE ROMANCE OF THE ANIMAL WORLD
An Unexpected Meal.
The peccary stood on the alligator’s tail, mistaking it for a tree trunk. In a moment the alligator stretched its tail round like a bow almost to its side: suddenly it let go, and whilst the peccary thus shot up was still in mid-air, it swung its terrible tail again, and knocked its now insensible prey almost into its own jaws.
