A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

My Dad would tell me stories about this program. If I remember correctly, after the Asian was gone, for company Gretchen was kept with a hippo. Poor hippo's back was quite scarred from "playtime." I have pictures of the cute couple somewhere. lol
Ryan,
Good story. Thank you for sharing. And yes, a playful African will put some marks on things.

I was about to say that Gretchen lived with a hippo, before I saw that Ryan Easley beat me to the punch. I've seen a photograph of them together. I think when they were first introduced they were terrified of one another, but became fast friends. The hippo would bit down playfully on Gretchen's trunk.
