Naosaurus and Dimetrodon, two extinct armour-bearers who should have been well able to protect themselves
50
An armour-bearer of prehistoric times whose shield was an effective protection against enemy horns
51
To the polar bear the ice and snow of the Far North means warmth and protection. The mother bear digs herself into a snowbank, where lives quite comfortably throughout the winter
84
The sharp claws of the ground squirrel are efficacious tools in digging his cosy underground burrow
85
The coyote can readily distinguish whether a herd of sheep is guarded by one or more dogs, and will plan his attack accordingly
94
The zebu, the sacred bull of India, in spite of its domestication, has an agile body and a quick, alert mind
95
Roosevelt's Colobus. These horse-tailed monkeys chatter together in a language exclusively their own, yet they seem to have no difficulty in making themselves understood by other monkey-tribes
112
A tamed deer of Texas, whose constant companion and playmate was a rabbit dog. Between the two, there developed, necessarily, a common language
113
Water-loving animals, like the beavers, seemingly take great pride in their toilets. Their fur is always sleek and clean
122
Great forest pigs of Central Africa. Like the common domesticated hogs, they will seek a clay bath to heal their wounds
123
The Rocky Mountain goat has many means of defence, not the least of which is his agility in climbing to inaccessible places
134
Wild boars are among the most ferocious of animals. By means of their great strength alone they are well able to defend themselves
135
Brontosaurus. The animals that seemed best equipped to defend themselves are the ones that, thousands of years ago, became extinct
144
This prehistoric monster was equipped not only with a pair of strong horns but with a shield back of them as well
145
The beaver is the greatest of all animal architects. His skill is equalled only by his patience (in Colours)
158
The skunk mother tries to keep on hand a good supply of such delicacies as frogs and toads, so that her young may never go hungry
172
The porcupine and the hedgehog have a unique method of collecting food for their young. After shaking down berries or grapes, they roll in them, then hurry home with the food attached to their quills
173
The black bear is not one of the great migrating animals. The thickness of his coat must therefore change with the seasons
188
Rabbits seem to have a well-devised system in their road-building, running their paths in and out of underbrush in a truly ingenious manner
189
The mongoose, a scavenger of the worst type, feeding on rats and mice and snakes, and even poultry
202
Diplodocus. The prehistoric animals, also, undoubtedly had their scavengers and criminals
203
The Esquimo-dog is man's greatest friend in the Far North
218
Chipmunks are among the most easily tamed of man's wild friends, and they even seem fond of human companionship
