Jungleland Auction
Posted By thecircusblog on May 8, 2012
The auction started and with it also came the pain for many. Jungleland was BANKRUPT. The end of an era gone forever.

It all had to be sold and Jungleland’s old competition was there to buy it. I believe the elephant in this photo is “Babe” who later was sold to Gene Holter.
Thank you for your comment Janice.

In Bob Cline’s comment he ask a question about the elephant Boon.
Jungleland The End
Posted By thecircusblog on May 8, 2012
This is the main arena at Jungleland. All the seats are gone along with the shade screens that covered the audience. It most likely had to be demolished as it was all made of cement and steel. On each side of the arena were long rows of large cages where the lions and tigers were displayed. There also was a back tunnel that the cats could be shifted though to the arena for the different performances. During the day and evening, there was a performance every hour on the hour with different wild animals and trainers.
