- Description:
- Taken at what was then the Grant Park Zoo, known today as Zoo Atlanta. Two years earlier, Asa G. Candler, Jr. donated his large and private collection of exotic animals, kept originally on his Briarcliff Road estate. Atlanta held a major fundraising campaign, at Candler's request, to prepare for the new arrivals--which included elephants, leopards, water buffalo, elk, zebra, birds, a hyena, a sea lion, and Grant Park Zoo's first tiger, Jimmy Walker.
