He went with Sorrel nag, and watched the herd of yahoos. He tried to tame a young yahoo, but failed. The infant shouted, bit and scratched Gulliver to free himself. this three year old Yahoo male was like his species. The herd came towards Gulliver but finding the offspring safe, since he ran away, and a Houyhnhnm  with Gulliver they left. This offspring also left yellow odious substance all over Gulliver, likely resembling human urine. In second incident when Gulliver was bathing naked in the stream a female Yahoo jumped into the stream and showered him with odious embraces, from which Gulliver had to shout to free himself. Gulliver thus concluded Yahoos to be perverse, cunning, malicious , treacherous and revengeful. He also understood about the similarity of the human race with the wild Yahoos.
