Gunther #2


I'll toss in these two pictures to complete the set.
For some reason a white tiger was a sensation when Gunther got this cub, I well remember the commotion when it arrived. Today an act is incomplete without at least one.

That was a tough time for Sigrid... twice as much hair to take care of...

One night in the Garden, I asked Gunther if he and Sigrid would like to go out to dinner after the show.

"We'd love to Jack, but tonight I must wash my hair blond."

Jimmy Cole has posted a few of JCs tiger acts on CFA. Its nice that these women are finally getting some notice. Susan was not shown and I think she is the best now a days.

This cub must be "Maharani", the white female born at the Baltimore County Fair from the same parents (Raja and Sheba) of John Cuneo's famous white tiger named Tony. The parents were the property of Baron Julius Von Uhl, who was performing at the Baltimore County Fair in 1976. Maharani had a white littermate and one orange. All three were sold to the Ringling Bros. Circus. The same parents produced another three white cubs in the Summer of 1977.

Was Maharani cross-eyed?
