| A black tiger | |
| 1889 Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (4): 149-150 | |
No authentic record exists of a black tiger having been seen or killed in Bengal so I am informed. Black leopards are well known, especially in the Madras Presidency and in the Straits Settlements, and I have heard of them in Bengal though I never saw them alive there (except in the Calcutta Zoological Gardens). But before I go hence and am no more seen, I wish to state that I and several others saw a dead black tiger at Chittagong, and from the entries in my diary, which was pretty regularly kept, I know that it was in March 1846. |
