1872. Evening Gaz., 8 Jan., 2/5. This savage beast [a lion] was whelped in the menagerie, in its cub-dom was allowed to range at will through the enclosure, and had in its playful moments gamboled with Mrs. Manders.
1892. Baring-Gould, in Cornh. Mag., Dec., 562. He is, I do allow, a little cubbish—has, in spite of his age, never grown quite out of cubdom.
