This little lady was billed

as "Big Otto" as shown in #2

Chic Silber said...


And a lovely thing she is

A couple of the men that

attended to her said she

was very agreeable

Tony Greiner sent a photo

of the Hippo he attended

but the image was really

rough as he had mentioned

Thank you Tony

In '64, Big Otto's keeper was a guy known as Captain George, who reveled in giving lectures on the operation of the Beatty show to any townie who would stand and listen.

There is a tale of Big Otto taking a stroll down the midway when someone failed to close her pen. However, she was quickly wooed back "home" with a few loaves of bread!

Did Captain George dress up in the khakis and jungle helmet in the late 50s early 60's? I believe Otto came up top when they drained the tub and put in fresh water.
