I believe the narration states that it took Clyde Beatty 3 years to teach this tiger to roll over!

I'm quite sure that is all hype. I used to watch Josip train tigers to roll over in less than 3 hours...then finish it with a sit-up.

While we are on the subject of cat acts, I saw Circus Pages yesterday, and was quite impressed with the cage act!

Jim,
I guarantee it was all hype. I rolled one over three times on Thursday and it took 15 minutes, but we are still working on his sit up. As Josip will attest rolling one over is relatively simple. Rolling over a group of them in unison is as tough as Obama trying to pass his health care bill. :)
