It is a little-known fact that the mother of famed game show host Monte Hall owns a company that provides exotic animals to zoos.

Equally little known is the fact that a few years ago singer Dinah Shore was working to establish a zoo in the little Iowa town of Tripoli in honor of her relatives from there. As a long-time friend of Monte, Dinah naturally bought many of the animals from his mother.

In fact, many truckloads of animals were shipped … from the zoo of Monte Halls Ma to the Shores of Tripoli!
