"After all," he added, "that grand mane makes him look a more noble fellow than the tiger.""Think of them," said the father, "in their native forests. They are a terror both to men and beasts. The lion kills his victim only when he is hungry. The tiger seems to delight in blood. He kills only for the sake of killing."Before they went away their father took them tosee the leopard, the panther, the puma, and some other great cats. The children were much struck with the handsome spotted coat of the leopard.
