Sobik came through CW when leaving Central Florida Zoo. Must have been in 79. Rex took him to the Vargas show and renamed him Tusko. I seem to remember him having one short tusk, but my memory is not 100% anymore. Saw him again on Vargas in 83. Plenty of males on the show that year, Gardner, Joe, Tusko, and it seems like one or two more.

Buckles, would you have a photo of Gardner and Sobik (Tusko) together when Rex had them both? Haven't seen a picture of Gardner ( my old Tarzan in years) Thanks!
