1t always appeared to the writer for
the Spectator that Sutton, the head keeper
of the zoo, treated the lions and some
male tigers, as if they were dogs; while
all the lionesses, the leopards, pumas, and
most tigers were treated as cats Lion
esses he never touched with the hand, and
leopards except the snow-leopards, very
seldom; but some of the tigers and the
male lions behaved in their dealings with
him exactly as if they were domesticated

OF the large carnivora, he never received
an injury. Yet, though never hurt by the
bears or lions, he was nearly killed by a
ZEBRA. The correct facts of this curious
accident were as follows: The zebra,
which was known to be very savage was
turned out into a yard, the sliding-door
between the yard and its stall being push
ed to but not fastened by the man whose
duty it was to do So Sutton was in the
inner stall, putting in fresh hay, when
the zebra heard him. He also heard it
trot up to the door, and the next moment
saw its muzzle pushed against the crack
which had been left between the edge of
the door and the post. 1t slid the door
back in moment, ran in, and, stopping
its head seized him below the knee and
threw him violently on his back 1t held
on to his leg, biting so severely that it
cracked the shin-bone though Sutton who
was lying on his back, kicked it hard with
