Gargantua, a headliner with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum
Bailey Circus from 1937 to 1949 was quite possibly the most famous circus animal of the 20th century. "Based on his posters, crowds expected a terrifying animal, capable of pulling apart the bars on his cage and crushing people with his bare hands."
Adrian Brune, "Hartford Courant," January 19, 2006 'A TRIBUTE TO THE REAL KING KONG, GARGANTUA"
