The Fearless Mexican Peecary VIII
Fight Man or Beast.

The Fearless Mexican Peccary VIII
Fight Man or Beast.
A writer in the st. Louis Republic
says that the most vicious and fearless
member Of the brute creation is the
peccary, or wild hog, of Mexico. This
animal seems utterly devoid of fear
and displays an intelligence in fighting
man strangely at variance with its ap-
parently complete lack of mental at
tributes.
Their ability to scent man is particu-
larry marked. The only thing to do
when they get after you is to run
sway from them as fast as a horse
can carry you, and then there is no
certainty that they won't catch you.
They are nearly as swift as a horse.
and their endurance is as great as
their viciousness.
y friend of mine encountered q
drove of them in wild part of Mexico
few years ago, and his escape was
almost miraculous. He very foolishly
Then he took refuge in a tree.
1he peccarleS kept him IN the tree all
that day and through the night. They
circled round the tree, grunting and
squealing their delight at the prospect
Of feast. He soon exhausted his am
munition and brought down q peccary
at each fire, but this had no terrors for
the beasts.
Toward morning they began to eat
those he had killed, after which they
formed in line and trotted Off If they
had not had some of their own number
to devour they would have guarded
that tree until my friend through sheer
exhaustion dropped from his perch and
allowed them to make a meal of him.
The wildcats and tigers that infest
the Mexican wilds flee from the pee
carries with instructive fear, and even
rattlesnakes keep out Of their path.
