\Of the Tiger\" a 1607 engraving with later tinting from Edward Topsell's \"History of four Footed Beasts\". Topsell produced one of the first printed English Bestiaries, containing reports from other authors such as Pliny, Albertus and particularly Gessner (1551). He writes of the Tiger, \"It hath been falsely believed that all tigers be females\" and that they \"conceiveth with young by the West wind\". Though he scorns the credulity of such authors, he goes on to say \"The Indians say that a Tiger is bigger than the greatest horse\" and a Tiger has been seen to \"fly upon the head of an elephant and devour it\". More poignantly he reports, \"The indians say the Tiger can never be conquered, because when he is hunted he runneth away out of sight\"."
