Note Carl Hagenbeck's address given as the "Cincinnati Zoo" which acted as a holding area as well as a US agent for Hagenbeck. Also the name "Trader Horn Zoological Arena" in Denver, Colo. "Trader Horn was a big animal deal back in the day, who later moved his operation to Kansas City, Mo. He apparently was quite a shifty character(few animal dealers weren't back in the day) and depending on who is telling the tale, either destroyed Jungle Land/Thousand Oaks which he had renamed World Jungle Compound, or shut down a dead horse that just hadn't fallen over yet.
