Wild Beasts And Their Ways is a non-fiction book written by Samuel W. Baker that provides a detailed account of the behavior and habits of various wild animals. The book covers a wide range of animals including lions, tigers, elephants, rhinoceroses, and many others. The author draws on his personal experiences as a big-game hunter and explorer to provide insights into the lives of these magnificent creatures. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different animal and its unique characteristics. The author also provides information on the habitats and ecosystems in which these animals live, as well as the threats they face from human activity. Wild Beasts And Their Ways is a fascinating read for anyone interested in wildlife and the natural world.Few persons are aware of the extreme quickness with which an elephant can kick, and the great height that can be reached by this mischievous use of the hind foot. I have frequently seen an elephant kick as sharp as a small pony, and the effect of a blow from so ponderous a mass propelled with extreme velocity may be imagined. This is a peculiar action, as the elephant is devoid of hocks, and it uses the knees of the hind legs in a similar manner to those of a human being.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
