explorer writes: THE wild dog Is COM
mon enough. He is an ugly looking
beast, with pied body. coarse hair,
short head and large, upright ears.
These wild dogs play fearful havoc
with game, occasionally clearing out
whole districts precisely in the same
manner as the red dhole Of India, be-
fore which even the tiger Is said to re-
treat They have wonderful power
of scent, wonderful boldness, endur-
ance and pertinacity, and their loose.

Of wild dogs actually attacking man,
but they often behave as If on the
point of doing so, and unarmed travel
ers have been literally freed by them
