What reading level is The Standard Library of Natural History Embracing Living Animals of the World a book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In some southern districts of America we have the RED LYNX, or so-called " wild cat, " which is distinct from the lynx of Canada. The MEDITERRA- NEAN or SPANISH LYNX seems likewise entitled to rank as a distinct species.
Of the lynxes the CARACALS are perhaps the most interesting, from their capacity for domes- tication. They are found in Africa in the open desert country, whereas the SERVAL is found in the thick bush. In Africa it is believed to be the most savage and untamable of the Cats. Th...at is probably because the Negro and the Kaffir never possessed the art of training animals, from the elephant downwards. In India the caracal's natural prey are the fawns of deer and antelope, pea-fowl, hares, and floricans. The caracal is the quickest with its feet of any of the Cats. One of its best-known feats is to spring up and catch birds passing over on the wing at a height of six or eight feet from the ground. A writer, in the Naturalist's Library, notes that, besides being tamed to catch deer, pea-fowl, and cranes, the caracal was used in " pigeon matches.
