Kalidah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kalidahs are a fictitious species of animal created by children's author L. Frank Baum for his novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. They are mentioned and featured in the first half of the story when Dorothy Gale and her companions are traveling through the dark forest. A Kalidah is characterized as a ferocious monster having the head of a tiger and the body of a bear. [1]
Other Kalidahs appear in The Magic of Oz and bother Trot and Cap'n Bill.
Kalidahs don't appear in the famous movie, but are mentioned and described, leading to the famous line "Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!"
