TIGER!

How many of these famous tigers do you know? A few of them are real and the others belong to the world of books, cartoons and movies.

CHAMPAWAT was a man-eater tigress who killed 437 people in Northern India before she herself was hunted and killed by the famous hunter, Jim Corbett in 1907.


KITTY, the cartoon sabre tooth tiger is the Rubble family pet in The Flintstones!

RAJAH is Jasmine’s protector in the 1992 Disney
movie, Aladdin.

MOHUN was the name given to the white tiger captured by the Maharaja of Rewa in 1951. Mohun can be said to be the ancestor of most of the white tigers who are bred in captivity in zoos all over the world! You can read more about Mohun here

British newspaper in a strip entitled Mrs
Hippo’s Kindergarten published in 1904.
