Is it live or is it...

This October 1962 image is a new acquisition to the Daveland collection. I am still going to guess that this "animal" is of the taxidermied vs. the "live" variety. A closeup of the nearby signage:



Here are the other images I have of the same image. I'll let you decide if Walt actually had a real animal on display or not. August 1956:

1950s:



July 1967:



I think it's pretty safe to say that by the time Walt acquired this beast, it had already been "put to pasture."

Buffalo in Frontierland, August, 1956

Yesterday’s post by new blogger Jordan inspired me to dig up this shot of a buffalo in Frontierland. Not the best quality, but still cool subject matter. Sorry about the spotty posts the last few days, but my changing of webservers has been a trip to Hell-Land; if you see any website errors or notice missing files, please let me know.
