Description: Gulliver’s master explained various aspects of the Yahoos that lived in the Country of the Houyhnhnms. He explained that the Yahoos would eat anything, including herbs, berries, roots, and the flesh of other animals, seen here. He also said that they would kiss each other, seen in the background, a concept that disgusted him. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
