Fang and Claw (book)

Fang and Claw was Frank Buck’s third book, which continued his stories of capturing exotic animals.

[1] Writing with Ferrin Fraser, Buck related many of his experiences working with and observing other people in the jungle.

After rain or even an excessive heavy dew bushes are full of leeches ready to fasten onto any passer-by.

But leeches don't like the odor or taste of liquid soap and will seldom burrow through a layer of it to get at the skin.

"He is one of the rare articulate adventurers who has the good sense not to be forever asserting that he is the fellow who shot the bear...Those who find the title attractive may safely hope for entertainment in the book."
