The _Felinae_ are the most powerful and ferocious of all predatory animals, and appear to hold the same analogous place among quadruped, which the Falcons, Eagles, and birds of prey do among the feathered races. They have afforded scope for the talent of poets and orators, when portraying the characters of the brave, the strong, the magnanimous, or the cruel, and have been successfully employed by the sulptor and painter as accessories in some of their finest conceptions. |
