Dick McGraw #2

Dick is working on a trick promoting the 4th of July at Jungleland…. or at this time World Jungle Compound. The idea was for the tiger to carry the firecracker in his mouth and to put it down on command. This training was for a newspaper ad. This photo was taken in 1965.  The area at jungleland was known as Tarzan,s Jungle. The same area where they shot all of the outdoor scenes for the Tarzan movies, featuring Johnny Wiesmuller.
