Animals Captured
| Species | Name | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Lion cub | Flop | His mother was killed whilst attacking Hal, and Roger adopted him. He is very playful, though unaware of his own strength. |
| Male lion | Black Mane | Flop's father, and a man-eater, responsible for countless deaths. He was gently coaxed into a cage by Roger at the end of the novel and, distracted by the love for his cub, Black Mane was captured without incident. The two lions, accompanied by Roger's inspirational story, were sold to Bronx Zoo for $15,000. |
