Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the First American Animals In the San Juan region of northern New Mexico are rocks containing bones of dinosaurs similar to those of Hell Creek and Lance Creek.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animal Story Book There was a stage in human growth when sym pathy for any one Of another tribe was scoffed at, or even considered criminal. But this sympathy came; men learned that justice is wider than the tribal limit, though it was still considered absurd to waste pity on Slaves. In time, even that became first a possible, then an accepted thing. The broadening sympathy which is, after all, the law of love, thus took in all Of mankind, and is following further along the lines drawn by the Great Hindu, who taught that in this broadest sympathy should be included the Whole Irving world.

As a rule, not only do we know them better, but they are likely to be more impressive and interesting than their small associates. Just as today the larger animals give us our clearest impressions of the difier ences between the animals of different parts of the earth, so do they mark most plainly the distinctions between the life of the present and that of the past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mammals of America N preparing the text Of Mammals Of America two classes Of readers have been kept constantly in mind the inexperienced Observer or layman who is yet fond Of animals, and the trained naturalist or sportsman who wishes to supplement his field knowledge with exact book statement.

From the house dog or cat to the zoological or circus animal, their attention is easily aroused and held. If in later years they do not keep their interest, it is because they have not been allowed to study the subject systematically.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories About Animals The giraffe's only means of defence is in its legs, and it uses its heels for kicking to an extra ordinary extent, more so than any other animal, not excepting the horse. The prominence of the eyes enable it to see behind, when directing its heels against an enemy, while the blow it gives will crush in the skull of a man, or give him some broken ribs. If unmolested, it is one of the most innocent of animals. Though sometimes it meets its death from animals far below itself in size and strength, as the following account will show.

Download or read book The American Beaver and His Works Classic Reprint written by Lewis H. Morgan and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Beaver and His Works The publication of Cuviers Animal Kingdom established an epoch in the science of zoology. This eminent scholar brought to his subject the critical and reflective powers of a great intellect, and the varied and profound acquirements of a laborious life. Having possessed himself of the results of antecedent as well as contemporary investigations, and extended his researches with more or less exactness, over the entire animal kingdom, he was enabled to construct, upon the System of Nature, that remarkable system for the classification of animals, which now forms the basis of zoological science. This system of classification is founded exclusively upon the anatomical structure of animals, whence comparative anatomy is the source of its materials. It not only rejects the habits and properties of animals as immaterial and transient, but it also leaves out of consideration their mental endowments, which, however important in other respects, were incapable of affording a basis of classification. Under its clear and definite discriminations all the species of each of the four great branches of the animal kingdom are seen in intelligible and harmonious relations, notwithstanding their striking diversities of form. Unity of type runs through the structural organization of all the individuals comprised in each of these branches. The grandeur of this fourfold plan of creation is not more impressive than the wonderful adaptation of the surrounding elements to the condition and wants of the multitude of animal organisms which God has made.

Download or read book The Animals of North America Classic Reprint written by H. Beaumont Small and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Animals of North America The most natural supposition is, that the all-wise Creator placed each species where it was permanently destined to live; and that from these different centres of creation, combinations have so multiplied between contiguous regions, as to form the various races of animal life. When we find a country possessing a group or groups of animals not found elsewhere; we may at once set down that as being the centre of a peculiar creation. In the location of many species, nature has placed various limits, and the spaces occupied by them are most unequal. For example: the Kangaroo and Ornithorhyncus are confined to New Holland; the Grizzly Bear to the Rocky Mountains; the Dodo, now extinct, to the Mauritius; whilst the Swallow, the Crow, and the Fox, extend to every known region. The principal cause of limitation is doubtless connected with the unequal tem perature. Of localities; certain species which thrive in one climate, perishing under the influence of another - also the nature of vegetation in one country, and the absence of it in another, - as in the Polar regions, - confining to the former the larger beasts of prey, dependent on herbivorous animals as their food, with the exception of, .in the latter, those that subsist on fish. The number of Species increase as we near the tropics, and there it is where Nature has been most lavish in the diversity of life, beauty of color, strangeness of form, and greatness of proportion. The present total number of living Species which has been satisfactorily made out and ascertained, exceeds, according to Agassiz.
