The Lion Team
Posted By thecircusblog on August 7, 2011
Here is a photo from the Los Angeles Times, taken Oct. 28, 1935. Its location is is unknown to me, but I’m guessing it could have been at either Goebel’s Lion Farm or the Los Angeles Zoo. It is said that the California Zoological Society trained the two lions, Tarzan on left and King on the right, to pull a feeding cart. They were also part of the entertainment. I’m quite sure they were not pulling meat in the cart; most likely monkey food. The names of the trainers are unknown to me.
