Comments / pictures

Contradictory records:

EEG states: 1982 sold to a circus, and from the circus to Frejus safaripark.
In summer 1987 to a private owner, after he wounded Djina in Frejus. 1990 back to Frejus safaripark, where he eventually also covered a female?

EEP states he was transfered to Frejus from Paris 1908-02-27, and no more info
