Francis looks like he’s had his photo taken before and can ham it up! Nice shot!

Thanks guys for the comments...
Yes, I got to talking to the owner about Francis. He stated that he has been in commercials, photos...so he is very photo generous. He also stated that he has many other wild animals, such as elephants, bobcats (i think), monkeys, all kinds...
I gave him my contact info and hopes he gets in contact with me, and I could go out there and check out everybody else!
I have a few others that I will post momentarily.
