A TIGER
LION-TIGER HYBRID AT ZOO.
or
An adult male "liger" lion-tiger hybrid, brad at Nawa- pager by Lieutenant-Colonel the Maharaja Jam Saheb (Prince Rinjitsinhji) and presented-by him to the Zoological Society, is now on exhibition in the large of the Lion-house den nearest the elephant ride. It was brought from Bombay to London by s.s." Lahore," arriving in the docks early one Saturday morning and reached the Gardens by motor Vafore noon.
outer
The male parent was an African lion, the female a tigress, and the "liger" (no doubt it would have been called a "tigon" if the father had been a tiger) is about three years old. It is a healthy and active creature, graceful in its movements, and without the odd appearance of crosses; so that it deserves, exhibition on its own merits, apart from its zoological interest It stands high, being nearly 4 feet at the centre of the arched back, and has the restless gait of a menagerie-bred animal, but seems healthy and reasonably tame.
Although crosses in the second generation are known to follow laws from which some of their characters may be predicted, first crosses usually present a blend or admixture of characters, the exact nature of which can- not be predicted. The "liger" makes the curious snuffling noise of a tiger. The general ground colour is tawny, with the under parts and inner sides of the legs nearly white. There is a water- mar" of stripes_not_much darker than the tawny hair visible only in good light over the body, but conspicuous on the legs. These bear no resemblance to the spots usually seen on young Hons, but are definitely striped like, the markings on tigers, in hoops round the body and in broken ringsround -the-legs-and towards the tip of the tail. The tall is long and slender, but ends in a large Hon-like.tufi of black hair. There is a small mane on the top of the neck, and a tiger- like beard round the chin. insides of the ears are black, with a large white area as in tigers. The head is rather long and nar row, and the limbs, long in propor tion to the body, are more like those of a tiger.

About the year 1755, the whole of Bagland was amused by the way in which a naval officer overcame the difficulties placed in his way by the authorities of the day.
