Animal Feuds Spring
From Various Causes

That animals carry on feudS with
other animals is fact known to nat
ural history authorities; but most ami
mails are prone to avoid hostilities thar
will lead to nothing but wounds.
Most creatures fully comprehend
their own powers and those of others
capable of inllicting injury, and they
are unwilling to risk possible hurt or
even engage in violent elfor: to little
purpose. thus, declares a writer in
the Scientific American, the puma and
the bears, though undoubtedly possess
ing a hatred for each other due to
their seeking similar game, hold a
truce rarely if ever broken.
Feuds between different species, one
or both of which threaten the safety
of the others young, are not uncom-
mon, and this is the chief cause of
such hatreds as exist between the
wildcat and the wolf, the mink and the
fox, the raccoon and the weasels. The
enmity that the crow displays toward
the hawks is an example, and 1t shows
also by the suspicion with which all
herbivora regard members Of the
larger felines and CANNES.
Among the reptiles certain feuds
exist that are more difficult to explain;
such is the king snakes desire to de-
stroy all poisonous and some non
venomous species larger and seemingly
more powerful than itself, says Lon
don Tit-Bits. Nor is it understood why
the rattlesnake shows readiness to
infiict its horribly aggressive defense
upon dogs, cats, larger birds and hui
mans, and regards with Indifference
the nearness of horses and cattle, I'M
less trodden upon. Its enmity for the
hog Is natural enough.
1t may seem strange also, consider
ing the small intelligence with which
we credit reptiles in general, that the
skunk and some snakes readily dis
tinguish from carnivorous animals deer
and cattle to feed upon the flies that
they attract.
