JAGUAB ATTACKIITG A TAFIB. Here is a graphic scene in the South American forest. From a convenient ambush the Jaguar springs out upon a Tapir, which has been enjoying herself with her young on the river banlc. Frequently when a Jaguar jumps on the back of a Tapir the attacked ani- mal runs into a thicket with its bloodthirsty assailant, whose hold on the tough, thick hide is weak, and thus the Jaguar is often thrown off. In the case pre- sented in the illustration the Tapir can dive with its young, and thus escape the Jaguar, which, like all other Cats, can do little damage in the water. (12O
