It is a very timid animal, and the least noise frightens it ; and it seeks out the most profound solitudes. THE TAPIR. 119 Notwithstanding this wild disposition, it is tamed with the greatest facility — at least, if it is taken j- oung. Its timidity soon makes way for the greatest fami- liarity. "It becomes tame from the first day," says d'Azara, ** and goes all about the house without leaving it. Every one can touch it and stroke it — not that it prefers one to another, or obeys one more or le...ss than another ; and if it is wished to get it out of a place, it becomes necessary to force it out. It does not bite ; and if it is inconvenienced in any way, it utters a shrill kind of whistle, quite disproportionate to its size. It drinks like the hog, and eats raw or cooked meat and food of all kinds, and whatever comes in its way — not excepting woollen rags or bits of silk. I have seen it many times gnawing my walking-stick ; and on one occasion it was doing the same to a silver snuif-box.
