The Jaguar, largest of the Cat Family in South America.
This specimen at the Philadephia Zoo is one of the largest
in captivity. He may be seen in the Lion House, where all
of the carnivora or meat-eating animals are fed daily
at 3 o'clock.

Indian Elephant, "Lizzie," is one of the oldest inhabitants
of the Philadelphia Zoo. The elephants here are given a
bath daily during the summer months at 4 p. m. It is an
interesting sight to see them in their big bathing pool.
They are very intelligent and seldom forget an injury.
This beautiful Siberian Tiger, "Princeton," may be seen
in the Carnivora House at the Philadelphia Zoo. The
Siberian Tiger is the largest species of the Tiger Family.
Tigers are generally treacherous and should not be ap-
proached. They are also extremely quick and powerful.
California Hair Seal or Sea Lion-These animals inhabit
the southern coast of California, where they are found in
large numbers. They seldom breed in captivity, but the
one pictured was born in the Philadelphia Zoo. They are
fed at 10.30 a. m. and 4.00 p. m. daily.

The Indian Rhinoceros-These animals are very difficult
to secure and are seldom seen in Zoological Gardens.
This one at the Philadelphia Zoo is a very fine specimen,
weighing about three tons. She has her private shower
bath throughout the summer, which she greatly enjoys.
Chimpanzee "Napoleon," a very well behaved animal, is
a great favorite of the children at the Philadelphia Zoo.
Chimpanzees when young are very playful and most of
them fairly trustworthy. As they grow older, they become
dangerous and it requires strong cages to retain them.

Male Orang-utan-This slow-moving representative of the
Anthropoid Apes comes from Borneo. They are generally
very tractable in captivity. Only four have been born in
captivity, one in Nuremburg, Germany, that only lived a
few days, two in the Philadelphia Zoo and one in Cuba.
The Wolverine, sometimes called "Glutton," inhabits the
countries of the Northern Hemisphere. It is a vicious and
bloodthirsty animal, hated by the trappers because of its
habit of following a line of traps and destroying the catch
of fur-bearing animals.
White-fronted Musk Oxen from the Far North. These ani-
mals are becoming scarce. In the future they will seldom
be seen in Zoological Collections. In the wild state, when
hunters approach they form a circle with heads out and show
no fear. Therefore whole herds may sometimes be killed.
The Aoudad or Barbary Sheep inhabits the mountainous
regions of North Africa. They live and breed well in
captivity. This picture shows a female and young, one
of a pair of twins born in the Philadelphia Zoo recently.
These animals, like all Mountain Sheep, are very sure footed.
