May All Eyes Be Upon The Steel Arena
Posted By thecircusblog on February 21, 2009
World Jungle Compound proudly presents Pat Anthony. I posted this picture of Pat for my new friend Wade Burk. In the bottom right corner very faintly can be seen ” Best wishes Pat Anthony.” After the performance Pat autographed photos and gave them to the audience as everyone wanted his autograph. All I can say is you were one fine performer and trainer. Photo taken late 40’s early 50’s…… See comment below by Wade Burck.

Ivan,
Pat was without a doubt one of the greatest in the world with the fighting act. Pat’s act was unique to the fighting genre, in that he also had a number of great behaviors, in addition to the marvelous bouncing. A lion and tiger rolling a barrel, a tiger rolling a ball, a great roll over lioness, etc. Pat was also one of the most encouraging trainers to starting out trainers, and offered advise and friendship freely. He was a great man.
