TRIES LOCH NESS monster keeps under There was another monster in Loch Ness yesterday. Koringa, the female fakir, who is appearing in Bertram Mills' circus at Inverness, took her 160-year-old crocodile to the loch. The crocodile had bathe, and seemed to enjoy the somewhat cold waters.

Paula" did an almost similar act.<br />I read an interesting snippet somewhere that Koringa had taken one of her crocodiles for a swim in Loch Ness when in Scotland.<br />There are lavish posters of Koringa viewable via Google, and also an early newsreel of her in action with her crocs on stage.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850454793383964839noreply@blogger.com
