    EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL VINTAGE 1953  - JUNGLELAND SOUVENIR PROGRAM
    -
    World Jungle Compound  - Thousand Oaks California
    Jungleland was basically the zoo for Hollywood.
    It housed many of the animals used in movies between the 1930s and 1960s. As you drove up the coast, past the town of Thousand Oaks, you could literally see elephants and occasionally other animals on the side of the road advertising the zoo.
    The MGM Lion "Leo" lived here
    ...and lions who made all the classic
    movies
    with a lion in them. Lions, tigers, elephants, panthers, leopards, pumas, chimpanzees, camels, waterbuffalos ...
    For four decades, about 1,800 elephants, tigers, hippos, giraffes, camels, llamas, chimpanzees and other exotic animals roamed the once wide-open space now occupied by the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. When they weren''t entertaining the public, the animals were featured in hundreds of movies, including "Tarzan," "The Adventures of Robin Hood" and "Dr. Doolittle."
    Truly a special place to go for exciting entertainment - you would find the most celebrated collection of trained wild animals on earth together with their trainers.
    "The biggest and most unusual trained wild animal circus lasting some three hours."
    Today the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza resides at the former site of Jungleland.
    Famed lion tamer, Mabel Stark
    came to Thousand Oaks in 1938 and began hosting performances at Jungleland. Mabel Stark was probably the world's first woman tiger and lion trainer.
    Other lion tamers covered in this special edition are: Pat Anthony, Melvin Koontz, Frank Phillips, & Richard Walker .. + pictures of wild animals stars too
