Which leopard & what year please

That is "Odin" my male. I carried him around neck until I hurt my back. That picture was taken in Baraboo, Wi. I was teaching Dalilah to work the leopard act. I don't remember the exact date, but I think it was in 1983. "Odin" was a good boy. He is the one that was in the picture taken out on the hey, laying with his head in my lap. And at the back of the tent, I was kneeling down beside him with my arm around his back. Also another photo he is sitting on a pedestal in front of the "SWAN BAND WAGON." He was a good boy for publicity, because of his size, and he was gentle. He was my second leopard. And the only male. He rode "Toto" on the howdah with the T bar. He sat up with his feet on the T bar as "Toto" rolled the barrel and did the one foot stand. That was the act "Dalilah" & I took over to Big Apple Circus. He would do that routine. Then we would go into "Dalilah's" Act with "Toto."....Barbara....
