Bickford of Gorham, N.H. Not found outside the White Mountains. A short, stubby, rather small animal resembling a Woodchuck but having Very soft, velvety, kitten-like, fur. Harmless, but surprising. Has the terrifying habit of suddenly rushing directly at you from the brush, then Stoping only a few inches away and spitting like a cat. A strong mink-like scent is thrown and the Come-at-a-Body rushes away.<BR><BR><BR> </div> <DIV STYLE="font-size : 12pt; font-family : Times New Roman"><BR><BR><center> [ 13 ]</center></div> </font></td></tr></table> </td> <!-- *** Ä% CELL 3 º% *** --> </table> </TD> <!-- *** º% CELL 4 *** --> </TD><TD WIDTH=100 valign="center"><center> <a href="p15.htm"><font size="7">º%</font></A> <BR> <a href="http://www.lumberwoods.com/index.htm" OnMouseOver="move_in('image2','images/lmbr2.png')" OnMouseOut="move_out('image2','images/lmbr1.png')"> <img src="images/lmbr1.png" border=0 hspace=0 alt="Move your mouse over here!" name="image2"> </a> </TD></TR> <center> </TD></TR> </table> <!-- *** Ä% ADVERTISEMENT º% *** --> <table align="center"> <td width=748 height=75 align="center" background="images/adbg.png"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1771542151092607"; /* lumberwoods */ google_ad_slot = "2227060330"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1771542151092607"; /* lumberwoodsbeta */ google_ad_slot = "3810790534"; google_ad_width = 234; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- *** Ä% CLOSE ADVERTISEMENT º% *** --> <font size=-1 color="gold"><BR> <I>Fearsome Critters</I>, Written by Henry H.
