Carl Hagenbecls now proposes to breed
wild animals at his wild animal farm in
Hamburg, and to furnish the ZOOS and
PARKS of the world, not merely by send
ing forth hunters to capture wild ami
mails. but by actually raising them in
Germany.
ALREADY we breed lions and tigers
said Mr. Hagenbeck. You say Sa-
wade's tiger, Alexander. a splendid,
strong beast. She has born about 50
hybrid beasts. lion-tgers. fathered by
the lion Nero. I'm sorry to say we
only succeeded in bringing up four of
these hybrids, but we can do better
now. There are the four, IN those
cages three males and n female. In
stcresting. aren't they ?"ss
Interesting they certainly We're, great
powerful brutes, more like lions than
tigers, but without fine names or mark
,inss. and. on the whole, scarcely All inn
provcmcnt on natures model, yet vast
" important rs suggesting wonderful
results that may be obtained by n
blending OF Wild races, Perhaps Ha-
gen,,ack may succeed In producing new
innlnlals--new kinds OF buffaloes deer,
nntolopes and ostrlches, AS strange
and beautiful as the, new flowers that
Burbank has produced in California.
