Spined Anteater

--In The Jungles of Schendi-- "A great spined anteater, more than twenty feet in length shuffled about the edges of the cam. We saw its long thing tongue dart in and out of its mouth. The blond-haired barbarian crept closer to me. 'It is harmless,' I said 'unless you cross its path or disturb heavily clawed forefeet, uttering and enraged whistling noise, clubbing and slashing, lacerating and eviserate even a larl. It lived on the white ants and termites, of the vicinity, breaking apart their high, towering nests of toughened clay, some of them thirty-five feet in height, with its mighty claws, then darting its four-foot-long tongue, coated with adhesive saliva among the nests startled occupants, drawing thousands in a matter of moments, into its narrow, tubelike, mouth." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 293 ~才 "...More than six varieties of anteater are also found here, and more than twenty kinds of small, fleet, single-horned tabuk...."

Panthers

"...He had worn at his loins the pelts of the yellow panther...." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 236 ~才 --In The Jungles of Schendi-- "On the jungle floor, as well, are found jungle larls and jungle panthers, of diverse kinds, and many smaller catlike predators. These, on the whole, however, avoid men. They are less dangerous in the rain forest, generally, than in the northern latitudes. I do not know why this should be the case. Perhaps it is because in the rain forest food is usually plentiful for them, and, thus, there is little temptation for them to transgress the boundaries of their customary prey categories. They will however, upon occasion, particularly if provoked or challenged, attack with dispatch." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 312 ~才
