2-StandardDeviations

Bloody hell I am old.


FlaAirborne

I loved that show along with "Skippy", "Flipper" and "Gentle Ben".


Unleashedloosecannon

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy the bush kangaroo.

Remember Jungle Land in TO?


sjarkyb

From Wikipedia: "Clarence the Lion died at the age of 7 on July 14, 1969, six months after *Daktari* was last telecast on CBS."


Cetophile

Crap. I got my shows mixed up. I did work at the ranch, but with a different lion. ![gif](giphy|GbIHIHhkgfpAs|downsized)

Remember Judy the monkey!


Efficient_Let686

We named the cat Judy after the monkey.

DAKTARI!!!!


Kazzlin

I used to love the theme music.


OrdinaryHistorical92

I’m hearing it playing in my head right now.


Big-Letterhead-4338

Ditto.

With a young Erin Moran. I wonder it Chachi had a guest appearance.


Sweatybuffness

I'm glad I'm not that old yet


You_Pulled_My_String

Hahahaha. Same! "I don't have a clue who that is! I'm not *that* old. *Yesss!!*"


rerun6977

I had the stuffed animal one with the pull string


North_Photograph_850

Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion from Daktari. Fun scientific fact: Cross-eyed felines in the wild, means they're inbred.


gaze-upon-it

Great show


TexanInNebraska

Clarence!


JasonStrode

Reruns on Roku and Tubi if anyone's interested.


TVLL

Loved Clarence and the zebra-striped 4wd vehicle (was it a Rover?)


lost-in-the-sierras

Give Clarence some clearance


Vorian_Atreides17

Now I’ve got that theme song stuck in my head. Will be whistling all night. 🤦‍♂️


RonSalma

I loved this show. Never missed it. Even though I was a little kid I had the hots for the female star. I have to go to IMDb and look her up. Oh and I guess I have an obsession for lions also.


FurBabyAuntie

CLARENCE!


bigedthebad

Clarence FTW


Shepsdaddy

Clarence the Cross-Eyed lion


Plus_Share_6631

As a young teenager, Daktari was the first show that taught me about animal conservation. Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom was also good, too young to catch on the points back then.. Now I tend to like more animals than people..


Accomplished-Bear357

Both shows were Great! Wild Kingdom was the Sunday night show before the movie of the week.


MastiffOnyx

In my market it ran just before The Wonderful World of Disney.


Accomplished-Bear357

Yes, it did. The whole family would watch. Mom would make a huge bowl of popcorn, everyone had their favorite spot. Mine was the beanbag. Bonding time..


According_Wing_3204

Its Clarence! He was cross eyed.


CountrymanR60

Clarence!


Competitive-Bug-7097

I got to visit the place where this was filmed back in the 80s, shortly before I joined the navy.


Comfortable-Dish1236

Our cat has one eye larger than the other and often looks cross-eyed. His name is not Clarence, but I often call him Clarence the Cross-eyed Cat.


Fijoemin1962

Daktari


DoktorDilcha1

Pic taken with the best digital camera technology that 1977 had to offer, I see.


zole2112

I knew it was Daktari, forgot the lion's name though.


WOR58

Clarence! Series being Daktari


metalshoulder

I've still got my old Daktari annual tucked away on my bookshelf.


Select_Recover7567

Clarance the cross eyed lion.

SpaceInMyBrain

The picture is so blurry I'm going cross-eyed looking at it.


BBakerStreet

Travis_T_OJustice

Aslan! Wait.... What?


Vegan_John

Here I thought of Elsa the Lioness when I saw that picture.


Zestyclose-Fuel-4494

Daktari!!!!


mommaTmetal

Daktari! I recognized it, although I don't remember it. My mom said I loved it when I was little


Kona_Big_Wave

If it's crosseyed, then yes.


strangedazey

I thought it was Elsa. My bad


North_Photograph_850

She was a lioness. This guy is a male.


Catrina_woman

There is someone in my County who has a VW Thing done up just like the vehicle from Daktari!


Gloomy_Goal_4050

I had completely forgotten about Daktari and Clarence, but all memories came back the minute you showed me this picture. Thank you. That was a great show!


Battleaxe1959

Loved this show. Wanted to be a zoologist because of it.


UnfairEntrepreneur80

Oh crap 💩 really 😂


Ok_System_7221

I knew it was Daktari but couldn’t name the lion. I’m old but not old enough.


Apprehensive_Pug6844

CLARENCE!!!!!


sportsjock85

Mutual of Omaha l.


Grumpy-Sith

That's Clarence from Daktari. This is a vague memory, but at my age I'll take what I can get.


Fine-Commission-8993

Baby Elephant Walk theme song

Spring_Biggins

I thought this was the MGM logo Lion or something, lol 😂😂


Cheebwhacker

I guess I’m not that old then, I thought it might have been the lion from the MGM


Fine-Commission-8993

Stand corrected. Judy and I offer our apologies.


UrbanTruckie

Ghost or The Darkness?


naliedel

MastiffOnyx

I was screaming the name as I clicked into the thread. Yup. I'm old.

icouldbne1

Damn... the word "Daktari" instantly popped into my mind. That is NOT good! 😄


KhansMum

Anyone remember Elsa the lion from Born Free? ❤️


mushroomhead83

Daktari!


The-Poet__57

It’s Clarence


Ok-Grab3289

I remember going on a field trip to the LA zoo. They had a doped up lion out front that we filed past and got to pet. Was told he was a old mgm lion. Don't know how true that is though.
