The mountains give their lost children berries and water; the sea mocks their thirst and lets them die. The mountains have a grand, stupid, lovable tranquillity; the sea has a fascinating, treacherous intelligence. The mountains lie about like huge ruminants, their broad backs awful to look upon, but safe to handle.
Thus research into the history of the past did, to a certain extent, tend to fill up the breach between the group of ruminants and the group of pigs. Another remarkable animal restored by the great French palæontologist, the Palæotherium, similarly tended to connect together animals to all appearance so different as the rhinoceros, the horse, and the tapir.
For instance, the horns of ruminants and the great canine teeth of baboons appear to have been acquired by the males as weapons for sexual strife, but they are used in defence of the herd or troop.
"No doubt," answered Barbicane, "but we should not have had room enough." "Oh, we might have been packed a little tighter!" "The fact is," answered Nicholl, "that oxen, cows, bulls, and horses, all those ruminants would be useful on the lunar continent. Unfortunately we cannot make our projectile either a stable or a cowshed."
So we may say that animals, in an anatomical sense nearly related to the horse, have those parts which are rudimentary in him, fully developed. Again, the sheep and the cow have no cutting-teeth, but only a hard pad in the upper jaw. That is the common characteristic of ruminants in general.
Here have I been wasting my flowers on this bovine public whole clusters every week to those who have no sense of smell and no eye for form and colour. What they want is ensilage a coarse fare suited to ruminants." A few days afterwards Constance wrote from Norland Square in Notting Hill asking Fan to visit her as soon as convenient.
What forms of acute indigestion involve the stomach of solipeds? Give causes and treatment. Give the causes of indigestion of the stomach of ruminants. Give the treatment for the different forms of indigestion of the stomach of ruminants. Name the divisions of small and large intestines of solipeds and ruminants. What is the capacity and length of large intestine of solipeds and ruminants?
Many striking illustrations of social life could be taken from the life of the reindeer, and especially of that large division of ruminants which might include the roebucks, the fallow deer, the antelopes, the gazelles, the ibex, and, in fact, the whole of the three numerous families of the Antelopides, the Caprides, and the Ovides.
At Bruniquel a human skull was found which had been opened in the same way as the heads of ruminants amongst which it was picked up, and on its external surface were deep notches, which appear to have been made with a flint hatchet. Similar traces of revolting feasts on human flesh are not at all rare; near Paris, at Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, and at Varenne-Saint-Maur, for instance.
