Most people, if askedi what animal eats the most, would probably say the lion or tiger. This is quite a mistake. Thirty-to forty pounds oil flesh will sat isfy a lion, which, as an average speci men weighs over 450 pounds, is by no means extravagant. A bear has much more capacity than a Jion. and can make away .witTi a small! pig at a meal, say a Jvund rod weight of imea't. Wolves are among the hungriest of the 1 larger carnivora.
