A Lion Cub in Second Grade in Garden City, Kansas, 1951
Why is there a lion in a Kansas City classroom? Well, in 1956, a cub by the name of Kyla made headlines in Kansas after being hosted in the home of Stuart Hansen and his wife. The Garden City Telegram states that the little cub’s popularity soared and people would pay, just to say hello.
The paper went on to say that little Kyla was very eager and extremely curious and her cuteness could not be ignored. She began visiting local schools because of the amount of traffic through the Hansen household. We’re not sure what became of Kyla after this photo was taken.
