Mabel Stark and Shercon
Posted By thecircusblog on June 13, 2009
Mabel Stark and her tiger Shercon. Look at the size of this gorgeous animal. This photo was taken at the Jungleland Compound in the mid 1950’s. I would often watch Mabel practice with her cats. One day she invited me into the arena with her and about 8 tigers. I entered the arena and stood beside her………She said to the tigers ” alright we have company so lets be nice” and with that we started doing a few tricks. I suddenly realized that I was being trained too. It was a proud moment in my life to be tutored by Mabel Stark.
