| "And you wonder: What is this panther? You are right to guess that it is a fierce hunter. You are also right about this, that it looks less like a normal panther and more like a magical, semidemonic creature. And you are right a third time, to be afraid of it. Imagine, if you can, a full-grown elephant, trembling, fleeing in fear as one of these four-legged nightmares stalks through the brush toward it. Now imagine you're that elephant."
