What reading level is Types of British Animals book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A blow from a large shark's tail is in reality a terrible episode enough, and in books it grows gtill worse. Just as THE BLUE SHARK 21T the enraged swan is reputed to sail about breaking any intruder's leg with a flip of his wing, so the tail of the shark is represented as making a clean sweep of the decks, masts and all. That a large shark could easily knock a man or two overboard is very apparent to anyone who has had a tap on the chest from the tail of a 20-pounder, as I have more than once ...; but there is no need to ex- aggerate a power that is already enormous. Like the contortionists at our circuses, sharks are able to bend until the tail almost meets the head. It is commonly averred that if you hold the most deadly snake by the tip of the tail, head downwards, it cannot turn and bite your hand. This, I believe, is correct ; but I am not sure that I would try the same experiment with a vigorous young 10-pound blue shark. When these gentlemen are hooked, they bolt to the top of the water, and twist round at such a rate as to tie the line round them in knots that score the skin, hard as it is.
