Four Boa Constructors In a Wrangle

The largest merchant in wild live ami

cries is Hagenbeck, at Hamburg, whose
animal park is a sight to see which many
tourists will go expressly to Hamburg.
There are at present four large sized boas
in INT cage. The other day a rabbit was
placed in the cage aud was seized by two
of the reptiles at the same time. The
two snakes Immediately curled them
squeezing each other. The larger soon
squeezed the other into relinquishin1 the
rabbit. But at the same moment the
two other boas came and seized the Iab-
bit simultaneously. In a moment the
three snakes were. rolled together in a
heap and squeezed one another as best
they could. One of them soon looked
as if it was being squeezed to death, and
the attendants went in to try to separate
the combatants. Immediately the three
heads of the snakes with jaws wide apart
turned upon the men, evidently angry at
being interfered with in their playful
trial of strength, and the men had to beat
a hasty retreat. The squeezing match
continued for three hours, when the COM
batants parted from sheer exhaustion.
Then the small snake came up again and
seized the rabbit, but was Immediately
bounced upon by one of the larger snakes,
which forced the little one again to let
go, when the larger managed to swallow
the rabbit. Then the little snake at
tackled the robber and a fearful contest
commenced in which the victory remained
doubtful, because the bigger reptile was
partially disabled through the labor of
digestion it had to perform on the rabbit.
Night set In and the ~combatants still held
each other embraced. Mr.. Hagenbeck
was afraid his costly snakes might kill
each other. But in the morning he found
them all four in the best of health, each
