Aniwa, Wisconsin - Behn's Game Farm

I can't believe he's still alive! They were old when I was a kid. I grew up in Aniwa , and have been living in PA for 11 years after 5 years in the navy. I came across your article and it made me homesick. My friends and I used to ride our bikes out to watch the lions do back flips. I've never seen that anywhere else. He didn't have any tigers then, but I'll never forget that old man dancing with a huge black bear. Once I got to hold and feed a new born baby lion. On a still day you could hear the male lion roaring from our house -- used to drive my dog nuts. Thanks for bringing back some memories of a place I haven't thought of in years.
