Two years ago a large and Intelli
gent water-hog from South America,
tired of the local British paenagerie
which exploited him and his brethren,
crept away, and took up bis abode In
a pond at Manning’s heath, Sussex.
There he lived a hermlt-like existence,
swimming and diving, or scrambling
along the fringe of the pond by way
of exercise, and harming no man, un
til quite recently a young foal disput
ed his claim to the lake. The three-
feet-long water-hog had the Igupu-
dence to chase the foal, and suffered
death at the hands of a gamekeeper
for his misdemeanor. The hog's lffe

species have survived the English
climate.
Such creatures abound on
the river banks in South America,
and, while possessing the skin and
bristles of an ordinary hedgehog, can
swim and dive like a fish, often re
maining under water for lengthy
periods. They have long, curiously
molded teeth, which enable them to
