-William Foix, Gay's Lion Farm

Anonymous said...: Interesting markings on the lion, second from the left.

Gay's Lion Farm, El Monte, CA was 13 miles from Los Angeles. Gay's Lion farm opened in 1919 and closed in 1942. At one time the "farm" housed the MGM lion and several lions that were used in Tarzan movies. The site was open to tourists and they sold post cards, as you can see from the collection here. The following old postcards, brochures and other images of Gay's Lion Farm, provide a great visual look back at Gay's Lion Farm's history.

I think the markings you are pointing out are just wet spots on the cat, or possibly signs of him needing a bath.; 13 March, 2008 12:51
