Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

In the steppes of Russia it is not rare to see a two-year-old colt rush singly to attack a band of four or five wolves, kill one of them, lame the rest, and spread the terror of his name throughout the country. The wild horse strikes with his fore feet, like the stag, and not with his hind legs as is popularly believed. He draws himself up to his full height against his enemy, and pounds him beneath his murderous pestles; then seizes him between the shoulders with his formidable incisors, and tosses him to his mares, to make spot for themselves and their offspring.-Russian Steppes.
