The Jungle in Sunlight and Shadow

1933

It has been written also in the hope that it may add a little Jo the accumulated knowledge of the intimate lives of some of the inhabitants of the jungle? [...] tO the vast majority will come at once the realisation that these tery forests form the home of the mighty elephant last relic pf a tygene age of the magnificent tigtr—that dread terror of the jungle night—and of a host of other wild creatures whose solitude is fot. THE JUNGLE IN SUNLIGHT AND SHADOW ever beijig$ disturbed by the rumbling of passing trains. [...] I am quite certain that the Indian paijgolin occurs in the plains of Nepal north of the 'forests of Oudh for I have actually found specimens almost up to the border a shallow stream and the country on both sides-of the border is of exactly the same type." Chapter i THE ALLEGED CRUELTY OF TIGERS `More sinn'd.against than sinning. [...] Yet the second-rate Writer of novels; when he wishes to create a vivid impression of some monster masquerading in uman form who hv stink far below the level of the creatures of the wild seems incapable of.finding any better simile than that of the tiger who is positively merciful in comparison with the debased type of human being to which he is likened. [...] Steglthily the tiger survexthe ground after the manner of the born hunter that he is and thei'having carefully chosen the best line of approach he gradually draws nearer And nearer taking the greatest care that the sambar shall remain totally uawartf his presence—for on the intended victim is warned the stalk is ruined.
