The first animal in the line is an orangutan. The other three are chimps. There have not been all that many orangs in the rings of traveling shows.

Johnny (Juan) Lam who was with

Tihany for many years had an

incredible adult female Orang

named Deborah that was the best

behaved primate I was ever around

Mostly I'm very wary of adult

chimps & Baboons (huh Jimmy)

Berosini had several Orangs that

mostly did high line club dates

(Glitter Gulch) and film work

Bobby was at Busch Gardens when his orang, Cylde was a baby. We visited him and he was a great host. I even held Cylde, funny a few years later when he made the movies with Clint Eastwood, he was a big boy then.

This Orangutan had gotten about twice the size when Simone traded him off for a couple of young chimps. I had asked Simone about it at the time and apparently the orange ape was quite a "Wrang". Around this time you could get Orangutans in the neighborhood of $2,500.I still have a price list from a dealer in the late sixties that Morgan Berry had put me in touch with, Vondenbrink in Holland.

PS.You could purchase a new one ton truck for around $2,500 also back then gas was .20 to .30 cents per gal.
