Text Appearing Before Image:
making the huge burrow in which it lives.
Many writers have given accounts of this strange creature, but much of
the information must be fiction. Although the aardvark is quite large, it has
no means of defending itself except with its claws. These, of course, are
very dangerous, but, owing to the animal's short reach, they can only be used
when the enemy is close to it. The aardvark depends mainly for safety upon
its ears. Directly it hears a suspicious noise it slinks quietly away. It is a
curious fact that the aardvark moves very silently for so large an animal. It
is said that one of these creatures will pass quite close to a man without his
being aware of it. Its nose is very sensitive, and when attacked its first
instinct is to tuck its head in between its fore-legs, so as to protect that organ.
The eye of the aardvark is large and lustrous, and of a dark hue. Its fur is
thick and matted, which protects it from the attacks of the ants. The top of
its skull and ears have curious wrinkles in them, and are perfectly bare.
Text Appearing After Image:

GREAT ANT-EATER.

THE ANT-EATER.

THE ANT-EATER belongs to
South America. It differs from the
aardvark in that it has much smaller
ears and a huge, bushy tail nearly
three feet long. The coloring of this
tail is so odd that when the animal is
seen asleep it looks like a bundle of
hay loosely thrown down. The great
creature is seven foor long and has
earned its name from its habit of feed-
ing on ants.
