The poem named as "How to tell wild animals" is a beautiful poem where Carolyn Wells has well described about how different animals look and how they actually are, in terms of their nature.

So it is not possible to understand whether an animal is really meek, or very ferociousness from its appearance alone.

For  example, the chameleon is one animal, that continues to change its color from time to time.

Again a hyena has a smiling face, nut it is very ferocious.

So ferocious animals generally have a coat of gentleness on their external appearance.

Answer:

It is quite true appearances are usually quite deceptive. Or we can say everything that shines may not be gold. Often in our personal life, we may have realized that even the best looking men and women also have some flaws in them.  

In the poem How to tell Wild Animals by CAROLYN WELLS, the poet has cited this fact convincingly.  

The tiger from distance may appear to be a noble beast with black stripes on yellow fur, but in reality it is a very dangerous animal.  

Similarly, if one sees a bear from distance, it will look like a teddy-bear, but in reality it can turn out to be quite ferocious.

In the same manner hyenas may appear to be smiling; and crocodiles as weeping, but both of them are very dangerous animals.  

A chameleon may also surprise you with its ever-changing colors. Since it has camouflage, it may deceive you to believe it is not there when actually it may be there.  

So, appearances are quite deceptive. We should have the ability to see through them.
