Plate XXXVII. — Tiger Taking the Water, Painted by Sir Charles D’Oyly, Engraved by T. Landseer
The Tiger having been driven from the jungle and hunted over the plain, as a last resort takes to the water. He is here represented just after having entered, his powerful paws half above the water preparing to make a stroke, whilst his tail stiff and outstretched serves the purpose of a rudder. The hunters on their elephants from the bank of the river are taking a deliberate aim at him.
