Animals That Are Always Enemies.
Many animals are born with an In
herent antipathy for other animals.
The excessive fear shown by young
rabbits which for the first time smell a
ferret and of young turkeys which
hear the shrlll cry Of a hawk they
have never heard or seen before, are
proved examples of the strength OF
these instructive antipathles. But the
case Of the weasel and rat is, perhaps,
more to be noticed because of the great
er equality of the antagonists. The
feud is so bitter that a meeting be
tween them almost certainly means
death to one or both. Friendships are
not uncommon between the cat ana
dog and have been known between a
dog and wolf but the mutual attitude
of the weasel and rat is invariably war
