. The animals of the world. Brehm's life of animals;. Mammals. THE PREDACEOUS MARSUPIALS-ZEBRA-WOLF. 58& their raids they go to the sea beach and devour all animals cast ashore, both fresh and putrid. Those that live on trees subsist mainly on insects, their largest prey being small mammals, and birds and their eggs. The largest species may occasionally visit human habitations and kill all the poultry of a coop in one night; after the fashion of Martens, or like the impudent F"oxes of the north, they despoil granaries and larders, stealing meat and bacon. The smaller species are able to squeeze through the smallest apertures, and render themselves as de- tested as Martens and Polecats; the largest of them attack flocks of Sheep and occasionally make off with a victim. Maliy take their food up to their mouths in their forepaws. Their vocal expression consists of a peculiar growl and a yelping bark. The larger species are very savage, untamable and addicted to biting, and defend themselves furiously with their sharp teeth, when attacked, while the smaller ones seem gentle and good-natured. Some may be easily kept in confinement, and tamed with- out great trouble, but never show any signs of affection for their keepers. The fe- males give birth to four or five young in spring. The harm inflicted by the memljers of this sub-family far outweighs the profit de- rived from them, and justi- fies persistent pursuit. THE ZEBRA-WOLF. The Zebra-wolf or Pouched Dog (Thylacinus cynocepkalus), the only liv- ing representative of a dis- tinct genus, did not come by its name wrongfully, for it really resembles a wild Dog. Its elongated body, the shape of the head, the strong demarcation of the snout, the erect ears, the eyes, the tail, which is car- ried extended straight be- hind, all are similar to the corresponding members of the Dog; the limbs are proportionately short, however, and the dentition differs markedly from that of the Dog. The Pouched Dog is the largest of a
