Please forgive if this sounds facetious, but there is a painting of a lion attacking a carriage horse in England of all places.

It was a depiction of an actual event, but don't remember where abouts.

Ibrahiim,
Been wondering if you are familiar with the name C Roads?

All best and Happy New Year when it gets here!

The name... Christopher Roads ...Top man on rifles and guns of Oman and was the head of ICOMAN project. He had a symposium I couldn't get to in Nizwa a few years ago but I corresponded with him...and he was very helpful. There's not much he doesn't know on gunpowder weapons of Oman!

Ibrahiim,

Thanks for the details on the lion attack in Exceter. I'd forgotten the fine stuff!

You maybe know Adrian as well? He spent a long time there when the museum was being formed. (Nephew of Chris)

Lee,
I wonder how many elephants needed hearing aids? :-)

or perhaps even more relevant might be how many mahouts lost feet or legs. I have never seen this work from this angle, but from the level above the elephant's mahout was most prominently scrambling to the other side and desperately hanging on!
