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

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.
