Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated July 23, 1958 reads, "Main attraction this summer at Griffith Park Zoo are three slippery seals shown above as they rehearse their act with trainer Jack Dole. These seals have more time for play than work and only perform on Sundays before tiny tots who race to pool at show time from other parts of zoo. They also have tuxedo-suited partner Percy, the Penguin, who was camera shy day these pictures were snapped."; See images #00116072 through #00116075 for all photos in this series.
