Text Appearing Before Image:
GELADA ( ia Natural Size). Baboons, great and small, arc armed with terrible teeth, both from a pointof strength and sharpness. Many explorers testify to the tricks which thesecreatures will play on their enemies. When hunted, baboons always try torun off, but should they be cornered, they turn on the hunter, grip him by thethroat, and then tear themselves away, causing a terrible wound, which is al-most immediately fatal. The Gelada of this family is specially famous for itsstrength and length of mane. Like all the rest of the baboons, it is veryquarrelsome, and always ready to attack an enemv. The mothers carry theyoung ones on their back until they are strong enough to go alone. THE MANDRILL.
Text Appearing After Image:
The Mandrill is the mightiest of the baboons. There is hardly anyother creature in the animal kingdom that is so extraordinarily marked, for oneither side of the snout (which, by the way, is colored a fiery red) are broadbands of purple, blue, and scarlet. The effect is hideous, showing an animalutterly brutal and ferocious. So terrible is the mandrill that it drives every-thing away, including the elephant, while lions have been known to succumbto an onslaught from these beasts. They live in the forests, and from there frequently descend upon the vil-lages. They care little about the natives, plunder everything in sight, andcarry their booty away to the woods. When caged the mandrill shows a marked preference for female visitors,and may be approached bv them when men would not dare to venture. It isexceedingly jealous, and, curiously enough, displays fierce anger if attentionsare shown to any of its lady favorites. It is absolutely untamable, and if in-jured will go off into the wild
