Text Appearing Before Image:
THE GRIM WOLF OF THE TAR PITS 47 undecided whether to leap aside from the near presence of the (hmgerous sabre- tooth tiger, or to (hish in on it if its entanglement has rendered it helpless. In the trotting step two feet are lifted from the ground together, right fore and left hind alternating with the opposite couple. The body is pitched forward from the spring of the right fore and left hind Imibs, the alternate couple have reached forward to the next step, the neck and head are stretched rather stiffly forward, while a faint curvature from side to side in the backbone is caused by the slight twist of the pelvis and the alternating pull of the shoulder and liip muscles on the back. All these details if correctly represented serve to give a lifelike appearance to the niomited skeleton, so that it is not difhcult to sketch in mentally the outlines of the great wolf pursuing his distant prey over hill and valley with unwearied perti- nacity. For the grim wolf of the tar pits was a veteran of the chase, and must have had a long career of successful hunt- ing before he rashly adventured upon the treacherous surface of the asphalt spring and came to an inglorious and miserable end in its sticky depths.
