Trainer builds a vast stable of acting animals in California
Hubert G. Wells runs Animal Actors of Hollywood in Carlisle Canyon near Thousand Oaks. Over 13 years he supplied trained animals to more than 75 TV shows and 38 movies, housing 100 plus animals from 46 species including an African elephant, leopards, a black bear, camel and Arctic wolves. Wells, a Hungarian émigré who trained at Parrot Jungle and Jungleland, now prepares his chimp Karanja for a Hong Kong feature, stating the animal’s performance relies on a trainer’s edge and control.
