Lion Can Lick Tiger. "A tiger is more easily excited than a lion. Is a lion superior to a tiger In a fight? By all means, in spite of the fact that some tigers have killed some lions. But match a strong lion against an equally strong tiger and the lion will win. "Why," asked the visitor, "do you mix lions, tigers, pumas and leopards in a group, when by so doing you add to the difficulty and danger of your task without, any corresponding appreciaton from the public?. You get Just as much applause and decrease your peril by more than 50 percent if you had, say ,20 lions or 20 tigers, or 20 of anything of one kind, in a cage:.

The other intriguing reference, also mentioned in the paleography section, is the name of the animal in strip 18 which “eats tigers”: “狻猊食虎 ▄”. As mentioned above ,this animal is generally agreed to be the Asiatic lion, “狻猊” being the transliteration that Prof. Li associates with a name for the lion brought in from a foreign language. In my opinion, the most compelling argument comes from the statement in the Han period text〈郭璞〉 which is virtually identical to the line in the “San de”: “狻猊，獅子，亦食虎�� �”, and the definition of “狻麑” in the 〈爾雅〉: “狻麑如虦貓，食虎豹�� �. The title of the text comes from strip 1, line 5, which seems to be describing the“triad of powers” laid out in lines 1-3. The concept of “三德” is also defined in two major received works, the Shang Shu and Zhou Li, though these definitions are some what different than the triad found in the Shanghai Museum manuscript:

Fierce Fight to the Death ln a Menagerie at New Orleans. New Orleans, La., Feb. 4. An attraction not down on the programme was presented at Wombwell's Menagerie last nlght after tbe performance was over and the keepers were feeding the animals. It was a fight to a finish between the lion Nerd and a huge bear, in which the king of the forest fully sustained his claim to the title. "The two beasts were in a cage with only a partition separating them. Big chunks of meat were thrown in to them. The bear was )riven the smaller share and finished his meal first Then he glanced sullenly through the bars at the lion and made a sudden lunge to get at him.
The partition gave way and soon the two animals were engaged in a life-and-death struggle. It lasted, however, but a short time. The two brutes swayed backward and forward for a while, when suddenly Nero disengaged himself from bruin's embrace and with a powerful blow of his huge paw came squarely down on the bear' back, breaking the 'spinal column as if it had been a twig. The bear fell over dead and the conqueror walked sedately back to where he bad been eating. Lying down be calmly resumed his meal, at the same time keeping one eye on the carcass of bit enemy.
