THE GREATEST WONDER IN THE WORLD ! !!
JUST ARRIVED, FROM THE SOUTH WEST COAST QF AFRICA,

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.

TN 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 snecics_

which we

ale Which he has the hadour to pi-esent to the public, and
_ighs -8 cwt., obeys the word of command, and executes
various performances which have caused erect admiration to th.

......aLurausts 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 line hair.
It only feeds on fish, of which it daily eats the enormous quantity
of 45 lbs. 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 he exhibited again.
The Proprietor is likewise bound by engagement to appear, at an
early date, in London, for the purpose of exhibiting this marvellous
natural curiosity before

HER MAJESTY AND THE ROYAL FAMILY,
