  Carl Hagenbeck (1844-1913) was a German wild-animal merchant who pioneered "natural" displays in zoos:

• Art Siegel said:

  from a longer account of the careers of John and Carl Hagenbeck:
  "During the First World War, after what Lorenz calls John Hagenbeck’s "adventurous escape from British internment [in Ceylon]" via Java and Italy, John helped his nephew run the Stellingen (Hamburg) Animal Park in very difficult wartime circumstances. One conscripted Stellingen employee actually took his Ceylon Asian elephant "Jenny" along with him to the Western Front to drag timber for trench props, and entertain the delighted German troops with circus tricks in the evenings; Jenny became the only elephant to be listed in the Wehrmacht books as a "war elephant"! "

  France is a bad place to be an animal in wartime. They ate the zoo animals (at the fancy restaurants, no less) during the 1870 siege of Paris.

• FrigateRN said:

  This is the kind of history 'snippet' that is just fascinating stuff to read and see pictures of.
  Thank you.

  Any beast of burden that could be used was used. They carried or pulled ammunition, ordnance, wounded, food, medicine and the occasional General.
