Brov/n Bear washing its Young. TIGER WITH BOOTY. 191 Tiger with Booty. FIERCEST and most dreaded of all the cat tribe, the tigercombines beauty with cruelty, strength with rapacity, andboldness with craft. If audacity and fierceness compriseroyalty, then the tiger rather than the lion should be the king ofbeasts; he terrorizes all the other animals, and is shunned andfeared by all; he is a hunter, a prowler, swift of foot, sure of eye,and great at ambushing and stalking. If the tiger has any prefer-ences in regard to food, it is for the deer or wild boar ; but, whenhungry, he will eat anything eatable from grasshoppers tocrocodiles. In the picture here presented we see the tiger carrying awaythe booty he has cornered and captured; in this case, it is adish of his favorite food — antelope. In this case he has taken his prey as is his custom — not bysteadily crawling and one great bound — but by swift surpriseand rapid leaps; with a furious blow of his paw he has maimedthe muscles
