The Stickleback, although perhaps not of primal school zoological importance, is a most interesting study, as this is the only fish that builds a nest, somewhat similar to that of a bird. This clearly shows the fish, its peculiarities, its nest with the eggs in it, the male guarding it and the lively family of little Sticklebacks. OUR FOUR FOOTED HELPERS (Ruminants) 1 Reel This subject starts out by taking the commonest example of the Ruminant family, namely, the Cow and with animated diagram clearly implants the lesson of what it means to chew a cud.
