There are many giants in Africa nine
feet high. Some Of them weigh 800
pounds and are strong enough to KIN
a panther at one blow. Perhaps you
think such big fellows mus; be clumsy.
but they are not. They can run faster
than any horse. springing twelve to
fourteen feet at a leap. This all sounds
like fairy story, but not so when you
hear that these African giants arc
