Sharks are found in great abundance, as are alligators and the hippopotamus, or river horse. The latter might, with great propriety, be called the sea-ele hant, being of an enormous bulk, and his teet furnishing good ivory. This ani mal is equally fitted for living on land or in the water; it has short and thick legs, and cloven hoofs it feeds on fish, grass, and such.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
