The Cunning and the Cost

This short passage, written in a restrained, almost documentary prose, begins like a naturalist's field notes. We are told of the cunning and caution of the Ussuri panther—an intelligent beast, attempting to outwit the humans who track it. The writing builds a sense of respect for the animal, detailing its clever strategy of hiding on a bough opposite its tracks, a creature perfectly in tune with its environment.

But the tone shifts sharply and brutally in the final three sentences. The narrative of a living, thinking creature is severed by the cold, detached line: "When we skinned the panther..." In that moment, a beautiful nature sketch transforms into a quiet tragedy about the collision of two worlds. The story is not just about a hunt; it's about the abrupt and final cost that the wilderness pays when it encounters man.

A powerful reminder that behind every trophy lies a story of intelligence and a lost fight.
