I think Roy Wells trained
animals at Jungle Larry's
many years back
I met Jungle Larry when he visited the Beatty show, in '81. I noticed he bore an uncanny resemblance to the actor Hans Conreid.
When I worked at the Gardens in Naples we were asked to call him 'Jungle Larry' Just plain Larry was frowned upon.
Well isn't that special
I also worked at Jungle Larry's the same time Roy Well's was there. If there was ever a concise study done on people who got their animal training start at Caribbean folk's would be amazed. Indeed a modern day Thousand Oaks. He and his wife, Safari Jane were some of the most unique animal people I have ever know. I think of them fondly, as well as their son David, to this day.
