To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On approaching nearer, a few more squeals are given, and ofi' they set at an ap- parently slow, but really quick canter, along some narrow beaten track to a neighbouring hill. If, however, by chance he abruptly meets a single animal, or several together, they will generally stand motionless and intently gaze at him ; then perhaps move on a few yards, turn round, and look again. What is the cause of this difference in their shyness ? Do they mistake a man in the distance for their chief enemy th...e puma ? Or does curiosity of ercome their timidity ? That they are curious is certain ; for if a person lies on the ground, and plays strange antics, such as throwing up his feet in the air, they will almost always approach by degrees to reconnoitre him. It was an artifice that was repeatedly practised by our sportsmen with success, and it had moreover the advantage of allowing several shots to be fired, which were all taken as parts of the performance. On the moun- tains of Tierra del Fuego, I have more than once seen a guanaco, on being approached, not only neigh and squeal, but prance and leap about in the most ridiculous manner, apparently in defiance as a challenge.
