Slim Lewis & Ziggy
Posted By thecircusblog on April 7, 2009
This photo was taken at the Brookfield Zoo in 1940 or 1941. The male elephant’s name is Ziggy. As you can see here, Slim is in a tight spot but he manages to get away unhurt. Bull elephants sometimes behave this way when they come into musk and you can get caught off guard pretty easily. Slim never had bad feeling toward Ziggy or for that matter any of the other elephants that he worked with. He wrote a couple of books on elephants one of them called “I Love Rogues.”
