text_original: These battles are often fought upon the edge of a beetling precipice   for it is in such places that these four species of animals delight to dwell  and not unfrequently the issue of the contest is such as that witnessed by our adventurers  one of the combatants being "butted" or pushed right over the cliff. It does not follow that the animal thus put _hors de combat_ is always killed.
