In the natural scenes with Maureen you can see the black and blue marks that “Timba?” gave her during filming.<BR/> Concerning the Indian/Asian whatever musical elephants that our Captain has shared with us, by their size in 1917 they look like young teenagers, and if some are males we all must know what that means.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-1121969003562112492005-07-21T14:03:00.000-04:002005-07-21T14:03:00.000-04:00Well said Rebecca, I think the zoo keeper spent to...Well said Rebecca, I think the zoo keeper spent to many days with the monkies.

God help us all and especially the animals if he has convenced himself he knows elephants. Please show this poor man what an Africian Elephant looks like. When I was on To Tell The Truth many years ago. Johnny Carson was the only one to guess me and the question was What elephant did the circus use the most., African or Asian? I had to tell the truth and say Asian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-1121959685087391112005-07-21T11:28:00.000-04:002005-07-21T11:28:00.000-04:00Walter Adams,You might want to visit an eye doctor...Walter Adams,<BR/><BR/>You might want to visit an eye doctor if you think those are Asian elephants. Those elephants are African. I have spent 15 year as a zoo keeper no circus folk/showmen is going to tell me the difference between African elephants and Asian. As showmen you may perform tricks with animals but you do the little things, like groom and feed the animals daily. You don't really understand how and the animal feels and thinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8897242.post-1121950921021933602005-07-21T09:02:00.000-04:002005-07-21T09:02:00.000-04:00Billy, Those are not African Elephants.

I came to the Internete yesterday but the comments button was missing. Did the tree huggers from Peta try to shut this site down? Those tree huggers have no life. I do love the pictures. Keep up the good work. My father was a show men for years and I grew up on Barnum and Bailey as free hand. My best memories are with the circus. <BR/>Thank you for the memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
