The Baroda Menagerie

This is a very unusual hitch and I wouldn't think very practical. The picture is labeled 'A small carrirge, driven by Deer in Baroda, 1895. Of course we know they are not "deer". I have often pondered if using animals such as these and caracal for hunting actually had a useful purpose, of if it was just a "novelty" to test their training skill's using readily available wildlife.
