"WILD BEASTS: A STUDY OF THE CHARACTERS AND HABITS OF THE ELEPHANT, LION, LEOPARD, PANTHER, JAGUAR, TIGER, PUMA, WOLF, AND GRIZZLY BEAR" by J. Hampden Porter is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the behaviors and characteristics of various wild animals, with a primary focus on elephants. The author draws from historical accounts, observations, and studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the animals' social structures, temperament, and interactions with humans. The opening of the publication focuses extensively on the elephant, presenting it as a complex creature deserving of admiration yet not without ferocity. It discusses various attributes including social behavior, family structures, misconceptions about their nature, and their potential for aggression. Porter emphasizes that while elephants are often revered, their unpredictable and dangerous tendencies can be alarming, illustrating the dichotomy of their character. Throughout this initial section, the author provides a mix of historical anecdotes and contemporary observations, setting the stage for a broader exploration of wild beasts in subsequent chapters.
