On Jungle Trails is a book-length compilation of Frank Buck’s stories describing how he captures wild animals.

For many years, this book was a fifth grade reader in the Texas public schools, approved for state-wide use.

[1] Some of the facts Buck relates are observational, such as his description of the pangolin, a scaly anteater, getting his fill of red ants.

Among the other accounts: Buck brought these animals back to America; but when he obtained several tiny Malaysian mouse deer, the smallest deer in the world, weighing two pounds, and made pets of them, a quarantine against ruminating animals made it impossible to bring them into the United States.

At the end of the book there is a partial list of animals which Buck brought back alive to America.
