Jungleland USA, Animal training facility and zoo in Thousand Oaks, California, USA
The 170-acre facility housed elephants, tigers, giraffes, hippos, chimpanzees, and other animals for entertainment and film productions.
Louis Goebel established the park in 1926 with five lions from Universal Studios, expanding it into a public attraction by 1929.
The facility trained Leo the Lion for MGM Pictures and provided animals for numerous Hollywood productions including Tarzan and The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Visitors could experience elephant rides, tortoise rides, duck boats, train tours, safari tram buses, and a sky tram throughout the compound.
The animal trainer Mabel Stark performed shows at the park and doubled for Mae West in lion-taming scenes for the 1933 film I'm No Angel.
