"Charly Baumann cracks whip, tiger leaps to cages bars."

This photographer must have had a penchant for people's backsides. This was Charly's second season on the show and I can imagine his reaction to this.

That was a big no no with Charly!! Must of been a new cat learning to just stay on its seat?

Gary,
Or they were taught to stretch on the side of the arena. Common behavior in the old barred cages. They sure don't learn to stay on their seat's by grasping the arena.

Wish I could remember what year

we had the 1st mesh arena

It's square pattern didn't fold

easily into the ring curb & was

badly kinked by end of season

The diamond pattern was a great

improvement & was much easier to

braid & nicopress but gained in

length when lowered
