Burdwan 1859. Rajah of Burdwan built a "Dil-Koosha" (Heart's Delight) with a menagerie. The rhinoceros lived in the same enclosure as the alligator. By his side could be seen a little pig, which had escaped the alligator and had run for protection to the rhinoceros. The big brute responded to the relationship and it was a pretty sight when his litytle brother trotted down to drink in the alligator's water to see the rhinoceros standing on guard and snorting defiance at the alligator, and that successfully.
