Other editions of book Wild Animals At Home

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

If you draw a line around the region that is, or was, known as the Wild West, you willfind that you have exactly outlined the kingdom of the Coyote. He is even yet found inevery part of it, but, unlike his big brother the Wolf, he never frequented the regionknown as Eastern America.This is one of the few wild creatures that you can see from the train. Each time I havecome to the Yellowstone Park I have discovered the swift gray form of the Coyoteamong the Prairie-dog towns along the River flat between Livingstone and Gardiner,and in the Park itself have seen him nearly every day, and heard him every nightwithout exception.Coyote (pronounced Ky-o'-tay, and in some regions Ky-ute) is a native Mexicancontribution to the language, and is said to mean "halfbreed," possibly suggesting thatthe Coyote looks like a cross between the Fox and the Wolf. Such an origin would be avery satisfactory clue to his character, for he does seem to unite in himself everypossible attribute in the mental make-up of the other two that can contribute to hissuccess in life.10He is one of the few Park animals not now protected, for the excellent reasons, first thathe is so well able to protect himself, second he is even already too numerous, third he isso destructive among the creatures that he can master. He is a beast of rare cunning;some of the Indians call him God's dog or Medicine dog. Some make him theembodiment of the Devil, and some going still further, in the light of their largerexperience, make the Coyote the Creator himself seeking amusement in disguiseamong his creatures, just as did the Sultan in the "Arabian Nights."
