Yay for pictures of Tuppence! I haven't read the books either, although I've read some meta about them way back when I would have called it literary analysis :)
That is one adorable lion cub! I went on a Wikipedia binge a while back on tigers. Fascinating and absolutely terrifying. Did you know that the big breeds can get like eleven feet long? The world record is something like 850 pounds (although they said that some of that might have been the water buffalo it had eaten the day before). Historically something like 380 000 people have been killed by tigers. Okay, I'll stop now or I'll go on for pages. Lions and tigers, oh my!
