EDITORS COMMENTS
Stripe-tease! Meet Tigon, the captivating crossbreed of a tiger and lioness. This glamorous feline believes she is the epitome of elegance and grace, proudly strutting her stuff as if she were the cat's whiskers. Bred by none other than the Sultan of Morocco, Tigon has just made her grand entrance at Manchester's Belle Vue Zoo in August 1957, making her the sole representative of her kind in all of Britain. This extraordinary creature fascinated both animal enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike. With her majestic stripes reminiscent of a tiger and regal presence inherited from a lioness, Tigon was truly one-of-a-kind. Her arrival sparked awe and wonder among visitors who marveled at this rare hybrid creation. Sadly, when Maude - as she was affectionately known - passed away, her legacy did not fade away with her. Instead, she was immortalized through taxidermy and placed on display at Manchester Museum for generations to admire. A testament to nature's ability to create unique wonders that captivate our imagination. Tigons like Maude are incredibly uncommon due to their specific parentage requirements—a male tiger paired with a female lion—making them an exceptional sight indeed. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also the intrigue surrounding these magnificent creatures during their heyday in the 1950s.
