Probably Sheba, Terrell's reliable female.

I'm intrigued by what Jacobs is holding. Looks like a very long lash whip, but a style I'm not familiar with. Lack of snow indicates a warmer day for outside practice. George Hubler told me of being a kid working for Jacobs then, and assured me the Boss got his money's worth out of him, from dawn to dark.

Sheba had something very rare going on, very deep inside. She startled everyone by slowly becoming a full-on male. Jacobs had his top veterinary friends, who had known Sheba for years, totally astounded by what they now had to study.

Roger, I did not know that.

Early on my Mom, Dad, and sister had gotten in the cage with her or him. My sister was still a teenager. I assume others had done the same and gotten their pics taken.

My grandfather had a publicity shot taken in front of a pyramid when he ran for county commissioner in Terrell's cage. Cats jumped down after the pic and busted up the tripod. Pic was not used for publicity as later they thought who would vote for a guy who was nuts enough to go into a cage of lions. Certainly not a stunt Clyde would have okayed.

Terrell had Sheba buried in a special casket like device if memory serves me correctly.
