> The Wolves he says always burrow underground to bring forth their young and though it is natural to suppose them very fierce at those times yet I have frequently seen the Indians go to their dens and take out the young ones and play with them I never knew a Northern Indian hurt one of them on the contrary they always put them carefully into the den again and I have sometimes seen them paint the faces of the young Wolves with vermilion or red ochre
