"Toddles"

Dear KC,
I do have a picture of "Toddles" but for some reason not at hand. It will turn up.
As I recall he was tuskless and the picture shows him being led overland by Al Langdon who
was on horseback.
Langdon and my dad worked together at Hall's place and later he was at the Brookfield Zoo in
Chicago.

TODDLES (male) Imported from Hagenbeck Zoo (Original name TAMBUS)

1901-04 Ringling Bros. Circus
1905-09 Big Otto (Animal trainer in Wisconsin)
1910-14 Selig Zoo (Los Angeles)
1915-16 Wm. P. Hall Animal Farm
1917 J.E. Henry Circus (Died in the fall,of 1917)

From the July 25, 1960 issue of the Billboard.---
Paul Ringling, son of the late Alf T. Ringling, recently sold his sheep ranch near White Sulphur Springs, Mont., and has purchased a 4,000-acre cattle spread near Big Timber, Mont. Ringling was recently defeated in his campaign for Lt. Governor of that state by 4,000 votes.
