It is unfortunate that we have no knowledge of the Miocene mammalian fauna of the Australian and Austro-Columbian provinces; but, seeing that not a trace of a Platyrrhine Ape, of a Procyonine Carnivore, of a characteristically South-American Rodent, of a Sloth, an Armadillo, or an Ant-eater has yet been found in Miocene deposits of Arctogaea, I cannot doubt that they already existed in the Miocene Austro-Columbian province.
He lashed his tail against his tawny sides. He roared terribly; but, for an instant, he remained where he stood surprised into inaction, doubtless, by the strange apparition that had sprung so unexpectedly from the jungle. Other eyes were upon Meriem, too eyes in which were no less surprise than that reflected in the yellow-green orbs of the carnivore.
The water-cat had been close to death by starvation; its attack on the men probably had been sparked by sheer desperation. A starving carnivore in a land lacking the normal sounds of small birds and animal life, in a valley used as a trap. "No way out and no food." Vye fitted one thought to another out loud. "Yes. Pin the enemy up, let them finish off one another." "But why?" Vye demanded.
His father had had none to transmit to him; but honor and conscience he did have and these were to trouble him many times as they battled with his inherent love of freedom for possession of his soul. They had passed but a short distance to the rear of Numa when the boy caught the unpleasant odor of the carnivore. His face lighted with a smile.
The creature's nose was close to the ground. It was evident that he was following the spoor of meat by scent. As Carthoris watched him, a great hope leaped into the man's heart. Here, possibly, might lie the solution to the mystery he had been endeavouring to solve. This hungry carnivore, keen always for the flesh of man, might even now be trailing the two whom Carthoris sought.
There are two wormian bones on the left side of the skull, one at the pterion and one below the asterion each being 9 m.m. long. The bones generally are fragile and the long bones slender, with no marked impression for muscular attachment. With this skeleton are two animal bones. White and very dense in structure. They are both femura, one probably that of an ungulate; the other of a carnivore.
Moving to the craggy bluff upon his right he began to climb, hoping his enemy would be unable do the same. Unfortunately, he was wrong. Emerging from the darkness the nightmare took a shape. Raising itself stiff and hunchbacked to the top of a massive, sunlit boulder, it took flesh as an enormous reptilian carnivore, like a tiny lizard slowed, and swelled to immense proportions.
Rabies is frequently observed in herbivorous animals, such as the ox, cow, or sheep, but is most commonly found in the carnivore, such as the dog, wolf, fox, jackal, hyena, and cat and other members of the feline tribe. Fox reports several cases of death from symptoms resembling those of hydrophobia in persons who were bitten by skunks.
"If it bites it can't be a plant." "No I don't know," said Andoo. "But it's curious, anyhow." "I wonder if they are good eating?" said the she-bear. "They look it," said Andoo, with appetite for the cave bear, like the polar bear, was an incurable carnivore no roots or honey for him. The two bears fell into a meditation for a space. Then Andoo resumed his simple attentions to his eye.
A light wind was moving through the jungle aisles, and it wafted down now to the nostrils of the eager carnivore the strong scent spoor of the deer, exciting his already avid appetite to a point where it became a gnawing pain. Yet Numa did not permit himself to be carried away by his desires into any premature charge such as had recently lost him the juicy meat of Pacco, the zebra.
