These hideous
beasts dig for themselves vast caverns in the soil, of
a funnel shape, and line the sides of them with rocks,
so disposed one upon the other that they fall instantly,
when trodden upon by other animals, thus them into the monsters' dens, where their blood is
immediately sucked, and their carcasses afterwards
hurled contemptuously out to an immense distance
from "the caverns of death.
