| Arrow head imbedded in a tiger's back | |
| 1921 Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society (26): 658-659 | |
I enclose a photograph which may be of interest to members of the Society. It represents an arrow head found imbedded in the flesh of a tiger which I shot last Christmas. The wound was evidently an old one, for skin had grown entirely over it and only a small patch of slightly lighter-coloured hair marked the spot on the beast's back where the arrow had entered. The tiger was well known in the district as a troublesome fellow, who held up travellers and bullock carts from time to time. His nasty temper is perhaps not to be wondered at, seeing that he had such a "thorn in the flesh." |
