Original Toronto Star caption: T is for tiger. Mr. T, who is in Toronto for six months filming his TV series, gets acquainted with a Sumatran tiger cub after he watched a performance of the Moscow Circus. The actor appeared uncertain when handling the cats, and rightly so. One later piddled on his foot.
