become tired of seeing the same old lineups of animals in pretty much the same old set tings throughout most of North America Jungle Zoo just south of Elmvale offers something refreshingly different including bear wrestling and snake han dling In this er Valley zoological park operated by Sam iersi some 250 birds and animals may be viewed at close quan ters Many of these spend imicli of their time outside of their enclosures foraging around the grounds or flitting around in the nearby trees green parrot may swing down from an overhanging branch to take closer look at all the curious visitors or an or dinary clucking leghorn hen may be seen scratching in the leaves beside the trail The feature that sets this loo apart however is the regularly staged wrestling match bet ween man and bear Smokey the bear weighs 173 pounds is much stronger than most men and will eventually weigh over 401 pounds His wrestling partner is Usually Andy itlttllfil but sin cc he had sprained an ankle elsewhere he refereed while snakciiian lom Mason of Parry Sound took on Smokey tor the day Smokey took swing at Mason and Mason hit the deck theexamlnor Thursday September 1917 11 Com cred to most laces ungle Zoo difference while Smokey tried to pin his shoulders Mason came up and flipped Smokey and reversed the situation Come on Smokey dont let him do that to you shouted referee Gerandi Dont take that from him Grab him by the foot and pull him down Now no hair pulling and no choking either The enthusiastic crowd of onlookers cheered as first one gained the advantage and then ieother The biggest cheer came when Smokey finally won the match by holding Masons two shoulders down on the deck for the official count of three placing hefty paw on each shoulder and raising his nose in the champions pose Part of our plan is to give visitors particularly the children chance to touch and feel some of the animals that are not dangerous explains icrsi it is one thing to see an animal but it is entirely more thrilling to be able to touch and pet them and in return leel their soft coats and cold dewy noses Most animals are not naturally mean they get that way only if they are mistreated or teased by humans Mr and Mrs iersi and the stall have raised number of big cat cubs including tigers and lions right in their own house hence ieisi and one or two of his staff can enter the cages of thesenowgrown cats without fear Persi invited the writer to come to the open door of the cage housing Shawn the three hundred pound tiger while he held him at the other end of the cage like some overgrown dog Shawn purred and twitched his ears to have them scratched at the same time keeping wary eye on the camera aimed at him in the adjacent pen the female tiger sprang and boun ded at the escapeproof caging in agitation Under the supervision of ierandi one of the lions went through his paces sitting on box lying out flat on it and jumping over it while ierandi with his hand stroking the lion explained that all big cats must be treated with kindness The trainer must be positive and completely unafraid mutual trust must exist bet ween trainer and big cat Above all the trainer must avoid any sudden movements When he went into the jaguars enclosure the helty yellow and black blotched cat from South America which can be dangerous rolled on the ground and played like big housccat The most dangerous part of handling big cats ierandi noted is leaving the enclosure something that must be done very casually great favorite with the children is the walkin deer en closure where dozen fallow deer some with great down covered horns four feet across and an assortment of lovable worlds goats come right up to you to muzzle kernels of grain and corn from your hand as you mingle with the animals In another area you can pet sadeyed donkey who stands only three feet high One of the more popular exhibits is the reptile exhibit where giant lizards rat and king snakes boas and pythons stare back at visitors through thick plate glass windows The reticulated python measures 13 feet ii length and weighs 30 pounds This snake at out time ate three ducks chic on and rabbit at one sitting then fasted for six weeks TV STARS Many animals and birds from this loo leave the park for few days hours or weeks to take part in movies and on TV Shows and sometimes to go to School as part ol class study program The leopard described as very tame was used in the filming of the popular TV series Swiss Family Robinson Mr Skunk was away as mem ber of TV show cast lnusual animals include allaby
