PUMA ATTACKING AN ANT-BEAR. There is no more harmless creature than the Ant-Bear of South America, when let alone. But its fore-feet are muscular and its claws are powerful and when a Puma attacks it they are used with such effect that the fierce feline is often severely wounded, although generally succeeding in making a meal of the Ant-Bear. The Puma is a very bloodthirsty animal, and, whether hungry or not, usually attacks every animal that comes in its way. The savage character of its onslaught is well portrayed in the picture.
