The elephant has four teeth on either side, by which it munches its food,
grinding it like so much barley-meal, and, quite apart from these, it has its
great teeth, or tusks, two in number. In the male these tusks are comparatively
large and curved upwards; in the female, they are comparatively small and
point in the opposite direction; that is, they look downwards towards the
ground. The elephant is furnished with teeth at birth, but the tusks are not then

Furthermore, animals differ from one another in the relative size of their
mouths. In some animals the mouth opens wide, as is the case with the dog,

his congeners.
(The Egyptian hippopotamus has a mane like a horse, is cloven-footed like
an ox, and is snub-nosed. It has a huckle-bone like cloven-footed animals, and
tusks just visible; it has the tail of a pig, the neigh of a horse, and the
