Their bears worked as prop hands, carrying props about the cage for the next trick, placing them precisely, and never missing a cue. The act was based on trainer's tricks, and even Charly Baumann said of them that he'd never seen animal training like theirs.Roger Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920466115948257597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-20713160271273793142017-04-12T10:01:26.846-04:002017-04-12T10:01:26.846-04:00Right !

At some they began doing the trick with some large Burmese pythons. Christiane would laydown with a snake or two on top of her, then the cats would cover. They were on the Blue Unit in the mid-70s. I met them when Christiane came over to the Zoo to buy some rodents for the snakes.Jim Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16101360546219598142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-49766636274377048572017-04-11T07:42:20.359-04:002017-04-11T07:42:20.359-04:00I don't know who the performer is but it looks...I don't know who the performer is but it looks like a couple tiglons in the mix.Bob Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322660031390871141noreply@blogger.com
