    Some pussycat with choppers like those! Great shot and some expression on Pussy's face! Of all the big cats I just love Tigers, they fascinate me!
  • Débora said:
    very intense expression indeed!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    This tiger would have been caged in the red brick Roberts house, so your location is extremely accurate!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie And now the tigers in Dublin Zoo have a great time! Not stuck in cages at all, but now with carefully designed habitats... Watched the Zoo programme on RTÉ that was filmed during the snowpocalypse last year, and it was incredible to watch these beautiful creatures bounding around in the snow, having an absolute ball. Such gorgeous markings!

    Débora Imagine being a small (or large) mammal facing that expression with nothing between you and those incisors!

    Nearby googlysphere with some lighting effects.

    Date wise, the gable is labelled 1898.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley After 1898, thank you.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The NIAH says it was extended in 1906 and 1912, may narrow it down

    A an article about the New Aviary in Evening Herald (Dublin) - Saturday 29 June 1907:
    Dr. R. F. Scarf. hon. sec., stated that he had transferred to the New Aviary on the far aide of the lake a number birds he had recently acquired. which had been in a cage under the Haughton House. while, some alterations were taking place in the Aviary.
    That reads to me that the cages under Haughton House were temporary. Possibly. Or possibly not.

    Edit: NOT.
