This is a terrific and exciting ad. I want to go there now. If you haven’t been, the lions, rhinoceros, giraffe and many many animals that can only otherwise be experienced in a zoo or in the wild can be experienced as close as is safely possible by driving through the habitat they live in at Lion Country Safari. It is a fun and thrilling experience.

I do recall this ad being featured on The Tonight Show. It was pointed out due to the relative size of the lion and the car underneath him. Of course, it is a matter of understanding that there is some perspective involved but it did make for a very funny moment… and some pretty good advertising for Lion Country Safari.

This ad was in a 1971 copy of ‘Florida’s Space Coast’.
