When she came into Circs World the Vet ole McLaughlin wanted to work on all the bears feet. So we knocked them out and trimmed the hair better their claws and worked on their feet..the beast wagons were always wet to keep them cool.
John Herriot told me that while he was Performance Director, in passing he would ask Miss Bottcher, "How are you this Morning?" and the answer was always the same, "Fifty.....Fifty!"
Laughlin not McLaughlin. There was one other long, long, long time Ringling employee who assisted "Dr. Dan" with the crime of stealing the tiger cubs, who was never exposed as he turned states evidence and got a plea deal.

Ursula Bottcher riding
her biggest bear Alaska
Ursula had a rep as difficult in the backyard. Fine--but she remains for me among the most impressive trainers I've seen with animals.
She and Alaska were awesome to watch
