Zulu the Zebra was an atmosphere animal on DR. DOLITTLE. One day on Stage 21, at Fox, she decided to vacate her corral. Six of us got lassos on her and she like to stomped us all. I'm not your zebra man, and my hat is off to whoever even got the hames on these four, not to mention working this hitch for so long. Whoever it was is welcome to their zebras.

It must be my "incorrigible" bent in life, but I worked with "CANDY" the Zebra from the cage act and never had a single problem with her, Everyone else did. I do have a picture that was in some newspaper way back then. I had been out the night before and had a very bad headache and was not wearing makeup. Not a pleasent sight for sure. If Buckles wants to show the picture I will send it, but he has to promise to put a sack over my head. "Candy" looks great and my bod is not too shabby. I really liked "Candy" and would bath her without any problems ever.

Check again. Looks like they were just hitched up in a different order.

Check out the other picture Buckles has on Cole 1930's #1 and see the zebra on the far right has almost all white on its legs? They seem paired in this photo but the other one has them switched or maybe differant zebra's?

Lance Ramos is currently training a couple of young zebras as part of an exotic liberty group with 2 camels (droms),2lammas,& 2 ponies
they work very nice,but are a bit tricky to harness or handle
Lance's 13 yr old nephew,Chino, dresses & handles them all the time

Maybe Zebras just don't like grown men!!! Kids and Ladies don't seem to have a problem with them. Is it "A MAN THING?"
