Then they were very frightened as to what would be the consequence of their remissness; but one chief jackal stood up and told them not to fear, as he would contrive a way of getting the better of the hyaena. There was nothing else to be done, so they had to put what trust they could in their chief and follow him to the Tiger.
Placing himself in an attitude as if to oppose an antagonist, he wrought his muscles into action, and then went round the ring showing his arms to the bystanders and exclaiming: "I am a hyaena! I am a Hon! I am able to kill all that oppose me!" To which the spectators replied, "The blessing of God be upon thee! Thou art a hyaena: thou art a lion."
'Yours, my dear Larkin, 'Very truly, Folded in this was a thin slip of foreign paper, on which were traced these lines: 'Private. 'DEAR LARKIN, Don't funk the interview with the beast Lake a hyaena has no pluck in him. When he reads what I send him by your hand, he'll be as mild as you please. Parkes must act for me as usual no bluster about giving up. Lake's afraid of yours,
The Hyaena has been the subject of strange fables: its neck was supposed to be jointless, consisting but of one bone, and considered of great efficacy in magical preparations; and the Arabs to this day, when they kill this fierce animal, bury its head, lest it should be made the element of some charm against them.
In the first place, the advance of so great an army has frightened away a very large number of the wild game. All that have stayed are the larger carnivora, like the hyaena or the lion.

That last excursion took us along the causeway to Beeching, and so up the downs and round almost as far as Steadhurst, home. My moods, as we went, made a mingled web.
"Because our tent was pitch-dark," replied Lysias, and that stout villain is as slippery as a badger with the dogs at his heels, Owls, bats and such vermin which seek their prey by night are all hideous to me, and this Eulaeus, who grins like a hyaena when he laughs "
'This is dated the 29th, said Lake, in the same quiet tone; 'perhaps you will be so good as to write a line across it, stating the date of your handing it to me. 'I of course I can see no objection. I may mention, I suppose, that I do so at your request. And Larkin made a neat little endorsement to that effect, and he felt relieved. The hyaena certainly was not showing fight. 'And now, Mr.
We do not find, for example, in the Europaeo-Asiatic province fossil kangaroos, or armadillos, but the elephant, rhinoceros, horse, bear, hyaena, beaver, hare, mole, and others, which still characterise the same continent.
