"The Most Dangerous Game", also published as "The Hounds of Zaroff", is a short story by Richard Connell, first published in Collier's on January 19, 1924. The story features a big-game hunter from New York City who falls off a yacht and swims to what seems to be an abandoned and isolated island in the Caribbean, where he is hunted by a Russian aristocrat. The story is inspired by the big-game hunting safaris in Africa and South America that were particularly fashionable among wealthy Americans in the 1920s

After his accident with Mrs. Simonson's powder, Jim struggles to understand the abilities he's secretly gained. Then a terrible event hurtles him into a distant place, requiring others to rush to his aid. But saving Jim isn't easy, not when he's been promised he could rule the world if he'd simply embrace a sinister plan -- an offer almost too difficult to turn down. Powders and Time is an adventure full of excitement and humor. It is the second book in the Pulvology series.

In its habits, which have been well described by Azara and by subsequent writers, it differs considerably from its congener, D. labiatus. It does not go in great droves, but is found singly or in pairs, or at most in small parties of from eight to ten; and it is a comparatively harmless animal, not being inclined to attack other animals or human beings.

J Audubon and Bachman very strangely state that " it is impossible to ascertain" to which species of Peccary Linnaeus applied the name of Sus tajacu (Quad. N. Am. i. p. 240). They cannot have read his description, which leaves not the slightest room for doubt; and yet almost every subsequent author has followed them in using Cuvier's name instead of the Linruean one, which appears to have been first restored by Mr. Sclater9. In Central America the Peccary was first noticed by Hernandez, under the euphoneous titles quoted above. In the seventeenth century Lionel Wafer gave the following quaint account of it in his 'Description of the Isthmus of America ':--"The Country has of its own a kind of Hog, which is called Pecary, not much unlike a Virginia Hog. 'Tis black, and has little short Legs, yet is pretty nimble. It has one thing very strange, that the Navel is not upon the Belly, but the Back: and what is more still, if upon killing a Pecary the Navel be not cut away from the Carcass within 3 or 4 Hours after at farthest, 'twill so taint all the Flesh, as not only to render it unfit to be eaten, but make it stink insufferably.
