Berosini Jungle Fantasy
Posted By thecircusblog on June 14, 2010
This truly was one of the finest great ape acts ever. A mixd group of Gorillas, Chimps and Orangutans. In the late 1960’s I went to visit with PaPa Berosini at Circus Circus and we had a fine time talking about our acts and training ideas. He was military because in a mixed group of apes it is quite difficult to handle…. they really don’t get along. In the jungle they would try to kill each other. I was more into comedy and training was somewhat easier as we had just chimps, but at times Dad and I had our hands full also. Photo from Jack Badal.

Hi Ivan,
I am wondering if you know the names of those baby gorillas in Jungle Fantasy?
