Elvis Presley The King Of The Jungle
Lee Gorden gave Elvis Presley a kangaroo as a gift. Presley had a thing for exotic animals; he rightfully called himself the king of the jungle in his songs. When Elvis bought the Graceland manor, Elvis purchased 13.8 acres of surrounding land to allow his pets to have enough acres to run around. A source tells that he was frequently gifted pets by fans too.
Presley spent his free time with his kangaroo. Our sources say that he had to ‘donate’ his kangaroo to the Memphis Zoo in 1957, which is the real reason we will never know about it. What we know for sure is that Elvis was always fond of animals, even stuffed toys. He had a plushie lion named “Mabel” (aww) when he was little. That must have made it easy for his girlfriends to choose a valentine’s day gift for him.
