A picture on another blog of a women doing splits on the backs of 2 lioness had comments to the effect that it was a first. This is Gert Siemoneit in 1963, and Ron Whitfield in America later did it with 2 male lions in 1978. These tigers are from a mixed act. He made another mixed act in 1985 and sold it and made a white tiger act in 1991. He sold the bears ,including 3 polar bears to Jim Clubb in 1991 and they were used in the Clubb bear act which debuted in 1991.
Casey I am looking for a picture of Gerd doing a oplique with 12 male lions, straight as an arrow, and beautiful.
