******************************* A trip to Singapore would began an 18 year exploration of the world’s jungles and the exotic animals. As a Professional Outdoor Adventurer, Frank would travel to Malaya, India, Borneo, New Guinea and Africa bringing back exotic live animal species that he sold to zoos and circuses. Frank Buck even created and stocked the Dallas Zoo. Up until 1929 when the stock market crashed, Frank had made a small fortune.The crash left him penniless. **************************
***************************** Frank had acquired the nickname “Bring ‘Em Back Alive” for the innovations he created to deliver live healthy animals by using traps and snares in ways that prevented injury to the animals. He then would personally accompany his animals aboard ships to make certain they were well treated and refused to sell animals to those whom did not have an impeccable reputation for animal care. Due to the fact of this reputation a friend came to his aid and lent him $6,000– Frank was soon back to his profitable work and became the prime source of animals for zoos across the globe. In fact, Frank Buck would briefly hold the position of “temporary” director for the San Diego Zoo on June 13, 1923 until he signed to a three-year contract. This position only lasted several months due to clashes with the zoos’ directors over how the animals were to be caged and treated. ************************** When war correspondent Floyd Gibbons suggested that Buck write about Buck’s animal collecting adventures, Buck collaborated with Edward Anthony on Bring ‘Em Back Alive, which became a bestseller in 1930 and capitulated him to international celebrity while inspiring other adventure books including his second best seller Wild Cargo. ******************************

I’m with the working man. I worked like a dog once myself. And my heart is with the fellow who works. But I don’t want some — union delegate telling me when to get on and off an elephant.” Eventually, the union gave Buck a special dispensation to introduce Gargantuan the gorilla without registering as an actor. *******************************
