Chucko was a regular at Jungleland. Here he is on his greeting stage. Just behind him is the clown birthday house. Countless children had their birthday photo taken with him.

I remember this Hippo well, she was mean and hard to work with. She destroyed every area that we put her in for exhibition. If she had the chance she would nail you.
