Its face is not that of a wild beast but of a man, and it has three rows of teeth set in its upper jaw and three in the lower; these are exceedingly sharp and larger than the fangs of a hound. Its ears also resemble a man\xe2\x80\x99s except that they are larger and shaggy; its eyes are blue-gray and they too are like a man\xe2\x80\x99s, but its feet and claws are those of a lion. To the end of its tail is attached the stinger of a scorpion and the tail has stings at intervals on either side. \n'b' A typical mantikhoras is about 10 feet long and weighs about 1,000 pounds. The mantikhoras\xe2\x80\x99 scorpion-like tail contains a sting more than a foot long at the end. It has other stings on each side of its tail. If is attacked from a distance, it sets up its tail in front and discharges its stings as if from a bow; if attacked from behind, it straightens it out and launches its stings in a direct line to the distance of a hundred feet. The stings are about a foot long and about as thick as a small rush.'
