trap-falls and pitfalls and some in huge
mouse traps In these mouse traps we
often catch full grown tigers. black
panthers and leopards. In the pitfalls We
backed tapirs. The animals running
through the forest run over these pitfalls
and drop in. The greater part of these
animals unfortunately die directly they
are caught: some kill themselves in their
excitement, others won't feed and so pine
away. A rhinoceros or tapir dies be-

the young lions in Africa on milk and
fowls. Most of them come by way of Cal
