In illustration of this fact no better examples than that 

 of the two or three clouded tigers that have been in the 

 Gardens can be found. The largest male, which lived in the 

 small mammal-house for years, was the tamest and most 

 good-tempered of wild beasts ; on the other hand, the 

 smaller one in the lion-house was about the most ill- 

 tempered savage that ever came into the Gardens, although 

 he was at the time I procured him a very young animal.
