BUCKLES is right--it's Arky. I can make him out in these subsequent shots, and was wrong in naming Eddie Allen. Allen did at a later time lead Anna May, but this is Arky. The poor lion suffered the all-too-common name of Simba, which is Swahili for lion. He was retired when it was discovered he was going blind. Primba, the tigress, soldiered on riding solo.

Man in the picture is Arky Scott, Menagerie Supt. on the Cole Show in those days.
