Stalking The Tiger
The Striped Lord of the Jungle.
Power and Speed Past Belief.
A Grim Master of Art.
Tigers shot even through the heart have killed men; no animal is more expert in killing. A few years ago a tiger and tigress were confined in half of a large cage in an Indian zoo; the other half was occupied by a lion and his consort. A steel partition separated the couples. It contained a door, that by some mischance was left unlocked. The tiger put his paw into the opening and walked in to see the lioness. The lion, which had been dozing, leaped to avenge this temerity. In a flash the tigress joined her mate. There was a fearful scuffle, and in a little over a minute both lions lay dead - a most decisive comparison of the merits of the animals as killers.
