smaller than the Tasmanian wolf, their stoutness and unreason¬ 
ing ferocity render them worthy of their name. Their color is jet 
black with white crescent on the chest and white spots on the 
rump. These animals are the most ill-tempered creatures in the 
animal world, as rage seems to be their normal condition. 
LARGE FOWL ENCLOSURE 
Leaving the Lion House by the east door, the visitor will next 
direct his attention to the large Fowl Enclosure, which embraces 
about three acres. Here are confined a large variety of cranes 
and herons. 
The Stanley Crane (Tetrapteryx paradisea). This crane was 
named after Henry Stanley, the great African explorer. The 
color of the plumage of this bird is a slaty gray. Its height is 
about four feet. This bird becomes very tame in captivity. It is 
a very playful bird, jumping about, flapping its wings and 
bowing its head in a graceful manner. It is one of the hardiest 
and most satisfactory to keep in a collection.
