A terrier will tear himself repeatedly among thorns in pursuit of a rabbit, and still be keen to enter them.
ACTIONS OF ANIMALS EXPLAINED 81 If his back itches he will rub it into a sore, and continue to rub the sore whenever he has nothing else to think of, until he has caused a wound that makes one shudde

I have seen a monkey who, through sheer ennui, ate his tail inch by inch ; and I have stood before his cage watching him nibble at its bleeding stump, until I felt quite certain that in the satisfaction of his instinct to be always busy his instinctive aversion to injury which a human mind would translate into terms of "pain" was at rest.
