The most advantageous of all House sheep is nowadays considered the Merino sheep ( Ovis aries hispanica), which has acquired its characteristic peculiarities in Spain and was used successively to breed almost all European varieties. Of medium size and full-bodied, it is distinguished by its large head, which is flat on the forehead, arched along the back of the nose, and blunted at the snout; it has small eyes, large tear grooves, and moderately long, pointed ears. - Samson Slaying a Lion

Bison ( Bos bison ). - Wisent t; it can be seen with certainty that the Wisent used to be widespread throughout Europe and much of Asia. In the heyday of Greece, he was frequent in the present-day Boelgarije; in Middel-Europe, he was found almost everywhere at the time. Aristotle calls him "Bonassus", and gives him a clear description; Pliny mentions him under the name "Bison"; ancient writings mention this animal, in the 6th and 7th centuries; According to the Nibelungen song, it appeared in Waasgau. - Horse affection

- Dancing Bears in Costume
Little bears are intensely amusing, and they display a great fondness for romping and playing. We have known of hunters bringing cubs home, and adopting them, as it were, into their families, the bears becoming exceedingly familiar, sleeping with the children, and eating from their bowls of bread and milk, climbing into the hunter’s lap and licking his face, and, in fact, making themselves perfectly at home. As they grow old, however, they are liable to become enraged at teasing or other provocation and to be dangerous. - House mouse

- Hazel Dormouse
Over the day, the Hazel mouse is sleeping in one or another shelter, the night she goes to find her food, which consists of nuts, acorns, hard seeds, juicy fruits, berries and buds of trees; prefers, however, to eat hazelnuts, which she artfully opens and empties, without picking them or removing them from the nap. She also seeks thrush berries and is therefore not infrequently caught in thrush snares. - Common Deer or Red Deer

Dandelion jump mouse - The Diaphragm and Organs in Contact with it
The Diaphragm and Organs in Contact with it—A, in Expiration; B, at the End of a Deep Inspiration. Transverse Vertical Sections in the Line of the Armpit. A, At the end of an ordinary expiration the lung does not extend below the upper border of the eighth rib. From this level to the middle or lower border of the tenth rib the two layers of the pleura covering respectively the inner wall of the chest and the upper surface of the diaphragm are in contact. B, When the lung is distended with air it occupies the whole of the pleural cavity. - Guinea pig
The Guinean Piglet is one of the most sought-after pets in the whole rodent order, as it does not set high levels, as because of its harmlessness and benignness. If it is given a fresh and dry berth, it can be easily kept alive everywhere. It feeds on the most diverse plant substances; all parts of the plant from the roots to the leaves, seeds as well as fresh juicy plant parts are to its taste - Lion by Alfred Stevens
- Hamster
The propagation area of the Hamster extends from the Rhine to the Ob. In the southern and southwestern parts of Germany, he is missing, as well as in East and West Prussia; on the other hand, he is frequently in Thuringia and Saxony. In the countries on the Mediterranean Sea, in England, Denmark and Scandinavian, he is unknown. A soil, which is moderately solid, dry and also fertile, best meets it. He avoids all sandy regions; In order not to encounter too many objections when digging, he does not settle on a very fasting on stony soil. He doesn't like mountain regions and forests, nor does he like wetlands. Wherever he occurs, he is frequently found, sometimes even in unbelievable scissors. - Sheep-washing in Australia
- Scotch Colley, or Shepherds Dog
The Scotch breed, or colley, is a light and active one, probably the best adapted for those portions of our own country where there is no danger from wild animals. It is pretty extensively diffused in the United States and British America, and is very useful to the farmer, shepherd or drover. - Tree-porcupine
The Mexican Tree Porcupine [Cercolabes (Sphingurus) novae-hispaniae], an animal of 95 cM. total length, of which about a third must be counted for the tail, inhabits the east coast of Mexico. The shiny hairs are very dense and soft, a little frizzy and so long, that many spines are completely covered by them. The spines are also missing from the parts, with the exception of the lower neck, on the inside of the legs, on the snout and on the rear half of the tail, which is covered from above naked, from below with black, on the sides with yellow brushes. - Black Rat
When this species first appeared in Europe, it cannot be specified with certainty. Albertus Magnus is the first zoologist to mention the Black Rat as a German animal; she was thus native to this in the 13th century. - Paca
The Capybara is widespread throughout South America; from the Orinoko to the La Plata, from the Atlantic ocean to the eastern reaches of the Andes, it inhabits low, forest-rich, swampy regions, especially rivers, multi-banks and marshes. She prefers to stop at large currents; it never leaves, unless to follow the course of small streams and watercourses flowing into this flow. In some places it is extremely frequent; in inhabited places, as light can be understood, it is rarer than in the wilderness. - Hare
The members of the genus Hare (Lepus)are distinguished by ears, which are almost as long as the head, by the shortness of the thumb of the forefeet, the large length of the hind legs (almost double those of the forelegs), the upward-facing tail stump, and the 6 molars in each upper jaw half (in the lower jaw there are 5 on each side). - Porcupine
The Porcupine lives lonely. Over the day it rests in long, low corridors, which digs it itself into the ground; at night it occurs and wanders around to look for food. This consists of all kinds of vegetable substances, thistles and other herbs, roots and fruits, the bark of different trees and many types of leaves. It bites off its food with the front teeth and holds it with the forelegs, as long as it eats. - Marmot
The Marmot (Arctomys marmota)can, including the 11 cM. longtail, a length of 62 cM. at a shoulder height of 15 cM. Through stature and physique she resembles her relatives. The hair, which consists of short wool hair and longer upper hair, is dense, abundant and quite long; the colour is brown-black at the top to a greater or lesser extent, broken on the crown and back by some whitish dots, in the neck, at the root of the tail and at the whole underside dark reddish brown, on the legs, the sides of the torso and at the rear even lighter, at the snout and at the feet rust yellowish white. - Alpine hare or Snow Hare
The Alpine hare or Snow Hare (Lepus timidus, L. variabilis) differs by physique and appearance clearly from the Gewonen Haas. "He is," says Tschudi, "more cheerful, livelier, three-star, has a shorter, rounder, more curvaceous head, a shorter nose, smaller ears (which, pressed against the head, do not reach to the spire of the snout). - Desert jumping mouse
Although these animals are numerous in the regions they inhabited, they are rarely seen here. They cannot be called shy, but they are restless and fearful and go to their burrows at the slightest, and as soon as they see a foreign object, as possible, to their burrows. - Culvert
Culvert - The Saiga-Antelope (Saiga tartarica)
Some of these, such as the Saiga-Antelope (Saiga tartarica), still inhabit portions of Eastern Europe, whilst others have retreated to their native land. But it might be asked, how is it known that these species did not originate in Europe, and thence migrate to Siberia? Because if they had originated on our continent, they would have spread there. They would have invaded Northern and Southern Europe, and they would probably have left some remains in Spain, Italy, or Greece. - Lagomys
