Woodland Park Zoo Elephant Ride

1950. This is just about the strangest looking howda I think I have ever seen. It looks like a Maharajah's shooting platform. Who is the handler?

Morgan Berry and a young Thonglaw?

Jim,
I thought it was Morgan, but wasn't sure. I didn't even think of Thonglaw. Wow!! That is very possible. Thong is buried in Richmond Illinois. It looks like Morgan preferred a cane hook also.

Why would Thonglaw be buried in Illinois? He died at the Portland Zoo - he was their main breeder for a long time, siring at least fifteen calves.

Radar,
Sorry, blame it on old man Alzheimer. I was thinking of Tunga/Tonga, and crossed him with Thonglaw. Thank you for the correction.
