I think this is Roby Gasser

I met Roby & saw his fantastic

routine with a humongous Sea Lion

(maybe named Taxi) in Tivoli Gardens

in Copenhagen many years ago

Or maybe it was Adolph

They were his 2 biggest &

best performing Sea Lions

I just learned that Roby

was with the Woodcocks

in 84 with Big Apple Circus

He also won the Gold Clown

at the Monte Carlo Festival

I am pretty sure that he had Axel & Taxi, smaller guy, with him on BAC.

There were more than on Adolph and Taxi. They were a male and female Patagonian sea lions and the males are typical two to three times the size of an adult female.

Reminds me of the several

horses that shared the name

"Chief Bear Paw"

This looks more like Peter Harrison ! He was on the Ringling show for several seasons with his wife Claire and stepson Ingo Stiebnor. They are all still working in Europe
