Summary

{{Information

|Description=

English: * Title: Know Your City No.182 Statues of saber-tooth tigers at La Brea Tar Pits Los Angeles, Calif.
  • Published caption: KNOW YOUR CITY, NO.182 -- Hold that tiiiger! Determined to beat the tar out of each other, these two animals are putting the bite on each other in a historic spot that is near a busy boulevard. If that isn't enough, see Page 28, Part ll.
  • Notes: ANSWER: This statue of a couple of unfriendly saber-tooth tigers is in the famous La Brea Pits in Hancock Park on Wilshire Blvd. That pool of smooth black stuff behind them is one of the eeringly bubbling pits of fossil-bearing asphalt deposits of the Pleistocene Epoch. (Got all that from a card tacked up on the fence.)


Statue was installed in 1934. Sculpted by Herman T. Beck (1895–1992) based on drawings by Joseph L. Roop (1869–1932)}
