shell fire and will hide in their bur

weasels have been tanned and al
though they will not permit them
selves TO be petted they live about the
trenches and are terror to the rats.
One OF them wandered for days about
the Canadian trenches and his where

Over In Mesopotamia mud turtles
have proved q source of amusement
for the Highlanders who tethered
their pet turtles on the parapets
where they could feed In the marsh.
Lizards have become so tame there
that they will sit with open mouths
begging for worms which the men dig
up for them. Small crocodiles too
have been chosen as pets and some of
them are so tame that whenever they
see a soldier coming they will open
their mouths begging for the bits OF
scrap meat which the men are accus-
toned to toss into their mouths. I'VE
taught them to open their mouths by
making faces at them and then throw

Birds of every variety from the
