You don’t have to look hard to see a mixed group of wild and domestic animals within this photo. Tigers, lions, Tibet and Sloth Bears and Siberian Boar Hounds as well one Hyena were all presented. Herman Weedon was also Jack Bstock’s chief animal trainer With out a doubt a most amazing act and trainer.
Linda thank you for your comment concerning your grandfather Herman Weedom.
