TRAGIC END OF WATER HOG
South American Visitor to England
Victim Of Its Fighting Spirit and
Gamekeeper's Temper

Two years ago a large and intelli-
gent water hog from South America,
tired of the local British menagerie
which exploited himself and his breth-
rem, crept away and took up his abode
in a pond at ManningS Heath. Sussex.
There, says London Answers, he
lived a hermitlike existence, SWIM
ming and diving and scrambling along
the fringe Of the pond by way Of ex-
ercise, and harming no man. until.
quite recently, a young foal disputed
his claim to the lake. The three-feet-
long water hog had the impudence TO
chase the foal, and suffered death at
the hands of gamekeeper for his
misdemeanOr.
The hogs life in the Sussex pond
Is regarded as all the more strange
because few of his species have sur
vived the English climate. Such crea-
lures abound on the river banks in
South America, and, while possessing
the skin and bristles of an ordinary
land hedgehog. can swim and dive like
a fish, often remaining under water
for lengthy periods. They have long,
curiously nodded teeth, which enable
them to grind TO pulp the vegetable
matter that forms their sustenance
and allow it to pass down the very
narrow passage of their throat. They
bark and growl like dogs and are
altogether unpleasant animals when
reused. The Manning pond specimen
was regarded by the villagers as quite
harmless, however, and they deplored
its untimely end.
