text: Selecting a tree whose situation is promising, or observing on the bark the marks of the teeth or horns of the deer, or other beast, he readily ascends, and, hiding among the spreading branches, he will there wait for weeks together, expecting some unwary animal to pass under, which he instantly drops upon, fixing his teeth and claws into the neck, digs a passage to the great blood vessels, which lie in those parts—in vain the tortured animal flies for relief among the branches of the forest, the Glutton still holds his station; and, although it often loses parts of its skin and flesh, which are rubbed off against the trees, yet it still sticks fast, the force of appetite and nature prevail more than his feelings; and he never seizes, but he brings down his prey, wearied by fatigue, and faint by loss of blood: the moment of victory rewards for former trouble, and he then makes up for past fatigue by immediately falling to, and ceases not, till overgorging has destroyed every animal function; thus torpid through satiety, he lies till nature qualifies him to renew the feast, which he does not quit till entirely eaten up bones and all.
