For those that never had the opportunity to see David perform his leopard act, He was excellent. I understand that they do not do performances anymore but still do the educational lectures. I am glad we worked together. Terrific guy and fantastic trainer. Bob
This was taken at Jungle Larry's in Naples, FL. The leopard is actually leaping up to David's shoulders as part of the act. But from the photo, it sure looks scarey.
David Tetzlaff presented an incredible leopard cat for many years, and did equally as well with tigers.
This leopards name was Honey and she performed this trck in every show. This was an incredible act that never got the press it deserved, being at a park. Rolled over seven leopards daily, but had nine that he could rollover together. Nice hindleg hopping black leopard( Java ). Much better than Gunthers leopards. Just nobody has the charizma in the ring that Gunther did.
