THE GREATEST WONDER IN THE WORLD !!!
JUST ARRIVED, FROM TUE -SOUTH WEST COAST OP AFIIICA,

NOW EXHIBITING,

FOR A SHORT TIME ONLY,
AT 30, ELLIOT-STREET,
THE MARINE TIGER!!!
This amphibious creature was caught with much trouble, and at
great personal hazard, by Signor Cavana, and crew, off the Coast
of Africa, on the sth of May, 1854. It measures 12 feet in length,
weighs 8 cwt., and is the only individual of the species hitherto
publicly exhibited.

IN 'offering this curious animal to public view, the
Proprietor begs to inform his visitors that they are not to
confound it with the Marine Wolf, as it is quite of a different species.
The female which he has the honour to present to the public, and
which weighs 8 cwt., obeys the word of command, and executes
various performances, which have caused great admiration to the
first naturalists of England, France, and Portugal.
The creature, notwithstanding its great ferocity, has with difficulty
been tamed, and, in a sense, domesticated. Such is its present
docility and obedience, that it has left its locatity at night in search
of its owner, and has laid down to sleep by his side. It is of enor-
mous bulk, has two rows of teeth, and is covered with fine hair.
It only feeds on fish, of which it ,daily eats the enormous quantity
of 45 tbs. It is ferocious and dangerous to its enemy, but docile to
its keeper, whose orders and expressions it comprehends, and
whose face and hands it kisses. Its intelligence is so acute, that it
pronounces several words distinctly.
The public are respectfully solicited to view this most extraordi-
nary animal, as its like may never be exhibited again.

The PropTietor is likewiie bound by engagement to appear, at ar
early date, in London, for the purpose of exhibiting this marvellous
natural curiosity before

HER MAJESTY AND THE ROYAL FAMILY,
and subjecting it to the examination and inspection of the Roya:
Zoological Society.

The' foregoing- statements relative to this animal can be well
authenticated, and an inspection will prove that it is not to be con-
founded with any of those shameless and fraudulent impositions so
frequently palmed off ou public credulity.

HOuis of admission-2, from twelve at noon to nine p.m . 6d

Children Half-price

N.B.—lt is respectfully requested th'at visitors will refrain fron
otuching the creature with canes, &c., or otherwise irritating it.
