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.

Wade: I wanted to show you something at: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/photos/white-lion-and-tiger-cubs-at-german-zoo-slideshow/ This reminds me of Andy Goldfarb, the former tiger trainer at MarineWorld/AfricaUSA walking a white tiger cub along with a lion cub and a mountain lion cub around the park together. The white tiger cub may have been the property of Josip Marcan, since they used to handrear tiger cubs for him and Siegfried & Roy. Take care. Sincerely Paul PS: Toronto Zoo has two pandas now.
Wade: You might find this interesting: http://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/the-white-tigers-of-visag-zoo/article2285252.ece Take care. Sincerely Paul PS: Did you hear about the extinct frog they are trying to clone in Australia?
Wade: I was looking at this website of old historic photographs from the US National Zoo. Here is one of Mohini: http://sirismm.si.edu/siahistory/imagedb/92-3571.jpg There are also pictures of Thylacines at the National Zoo, and of gorillas, including the second gorilla born in the United States. Take care. Sincerely Paul
Wade: This is old film footage of Mohini at the White House with President Eisenhower in 1960. I wish I knew what they were saying. I can't hear anything at this library computer. http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/sciencefair/2013/02/06/ike-tiger-smithsonian/1896759/ Take care. Sincerely Paul
