Rich Boy's Toys--Getty Villa

The Getty Villa seems to be more "accommodating" to human comfort then the bear pits were "accommodating" to bear comforts. Information is hard to find about the Getty menagerie. The Museum folks seem to have distanced themselves from the "fact." Does anyone know anything else about the animals J.Paul had at the estate?

Bear pit at Getty Villa which was once J. Paul's home. Like many other wealthy collectors he had a menagerie which included bears, bison, and lions.
