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.

This must be a truck used in Africa for the filing of Trader Horn. It was the first non-documentary movie filmed on location in Africa in 1930 and released in 1931. The filming was plagued with accidents. One native got eaten by a crocodile and another was killed by a charging rhino.
Moreover, many of the actors fell ill with assorted diseases associated with the African wilderness. Many thousands of feet were shot of East African wildlife.
MGM used it many times in other films, notably its series of Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies.
RJR,
Great stuff, and it is appreciated. I hope all is well with you.

I just acquired a print of this image. 5x7 glossy with a sepia tinge. It came with another one of a man in a lab coat holding two lion cubs. The lot included two 11x14 shots of Clyde Beatty and lions and a great one of a tiger and a lion both on their hind legs facing off. Very dramatic. I'm wondering if there is any connection to the two larger photos and MGM?
