| Description : |
In the 1880s and '90s a creature terrorised the livestock of the countryside around Tantanoola, in South Australia's south east. This creature was rumoured to be a tiger that had escaped from a traveling circus and thus was dubbed the Tantanoola Tiger. In 1895 a local man shot what he thought was the Tantanoola Tiger and discovered the creature to be a European wolf. This newspaper article reports on the death of the Tantanoola Tiger. |
