Bartlett (Ch. IV)
It is odd how many animals hiss when angry —
Geese — owls — snakes — Horned toads — Otters? Lizards? Any mammal?
Does Puff adder inhale & sell solely for hissing ie does its body collapse after a hiss & then swell again — Can the swelling seem from remembrance.— Do many other snakes swell?
