Swift as was the current, these folk of the Caves might have crossed it by swimming; but Grôm knew that such waters were apt to swarm with giant crocodiles of varying type and unvarying ferocity, as well as with ferocious flesh-eating fish that swarmed in wolfish packs, and were able to tear an aurochs or a mastodon in pieces with their razor-edged teeth.
By visiting a new district on each quest of food the game was not too greatly disturbed and its numbers or existence was not imperilled. Nor was this instinct confined to the Jaguar alone. The other flesh-eating animals also heeded it.
Sickness and oceanic war are the only agents that from time to time announce their existence in a casual way, as they float over the waves with members relaxed, snatched at by the iron jaws of the flesh-eating fish. The great danger for them is that a chance current might place this plunder of the immense marine desert before the prow of a slow-going sailboat.
Digger the Badger is just as much a cousin of yours as is Shadow the Weasel. You are members of the same order and it is a rather large order. It is called the Car-niv-o-ra, which means 'flesh-eating. You are a member of the Marten or Weasel family, and that family is called the 'Mus-tel-i-dae. Digger the Badger is also a member of that family. That means that you two are cousins.
I am not particular about what I eat, as with me good digestion waits on appetite, and so long as I get a bellyful to use a good old English word I am satisfied. On this particular occasion, with or without a pretty girl at the table, I could have consumed a haggis that greatest abomination ever invented by flesh-eating barbarians I was so desperately hungry.
Flesh-eating, yellow-legged vultures! friends of the oppressors of our land! dogs who are not ashamed to eat from the same trough with the Bellati!" "It seems to me that your prophetess only foretells the past," said Mr. Y , philosophically putting his hands in his pockets. "I should say that she is hinting at you, my dear Sham Rao."
The days of breeding, of motherhood the peace of spring and summer were over. Out of the sky came the wakening of the Northland, the call of all flesh-eating creatures to the long hunt, and in the first thrill of it living things were moving but little this night, and that watchfully and with suspicion. Youth made it all new to Baree and Maheegun.
The commonest creatures may serve us best in order that we may come to view evolution as a process that involves each and every living thing that we know, and not as something which belongs only to the remote and unknown past. Let us begin with the common cat and the group of carnivora or flesh-eating animals to which it belongs.
In these the skull was remarkably similar to that of the carnivores, or flesh-eating mammals, and the teeth, unlike the teeth of any later reptiles, were divisible into incisors, canines, and molars, as are the teeth of mammals. At the opening of the Mesozoic era reptiles were the most highly organized and powerful of any animals on the earth.
Are not the quail, the pigeon and the partridge the natural prey of the hawk? the sheep, the stag and the ox that of the great flesh-eating animals, rather than meat that has been fattened to be served up to us with truffles, which have been unearthed by pigs, for our special benefit?
