Animnl. which Rarely Drink.

Naturalists have discovered many
animals which seem to need no water
or which drink only at rare intervals.
There is certain breed OF gazelIes
which never drink, and the llamas of
Patagonia live for years without TAX
ing water There is particular class
OF cattle near Losere, in France, that
rarely touches water, but in spite of
this fact these cattle give milk of n
rich quality, from which excellent
cheese is made. Many naturalists have
the theory that hares do not drink or
that water is not necessity for them.
