diversified to be treated with any approach to completeness.
However, to illustrate this subject the leading species will be
noticed.

TEMPERAMENTS OF THE LARGE CARNIVORES

The lion is sanguine, courageous, confident, reposeful and very
reliable.

The tiger is nervous, suspicious, treacherous and uncertain.

The black and common leopards are nervous and combative,
irreconcilable and dangerous.

The snow leopard is sanguine, optimistic and peace-loving. The
puma is sanguine, good natured, quiet and peaceful.

The wolves are sanguine, crafty, dangerous and cruel.

The foxes are hysterical, timid and full of senseless fear.

The lynxes are sanguine, philosophic, and peaceful.

The mustelines are either nervous or hysterical, courageous,
savage, and even murderous.

The bears are so very interesting that it is well worth while to
consider the leading species separately. Possibly our conclusions
will reveal some unsuspected conditions.
