- There are not many wild animals in this country now. The names of a few of them are the fox, badger, dog, weasel, rats, mice, hares, rabbits and deer. The fox eats hens and every sort of fowl. The weasel is a very vicious animal. He would put a hole behind a rabbit's neck and suck his blood.
Rats and mice are dirty animals in a house. There is a cure in the skin of mice if the of mice is rubbed to a baby boys face when he is born he would never grow a whiskers.
There is a great speed in a hare. Hares make forms in thick great and in bushes. Rabbits are very clever animals. they eat grass, cabbage and other vegetables. They make holes in ditches and in gullets.
