Marlin Perkins of the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago and announcer Jim Hurlbut would talk about various animals there. It was sponsore by Mutual of Omaha, sort of a precursor to the later Wild Kingdom series.
Another sponsor was Ken-L-Ration dog food.
The story makes a passing reference to a "Greggary Peccary"... could that have helped inspire this?
