This thesis explores the cultural history of Jungle Habitat, a drive-through safari park in West Milford, NJ, that was owned and operated by Warner Bros. from 1972 to 1976. Working back from its dates of operation, this thesis explores three chronologies that provide insight into Jungle Habitat's existence as a strange confluence of wild animals, animal shows/rides, Looney Tunes shows and African dance performances. These chronologies, stemming from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, are: (1) American safari expeditions to Africa to collect animal specimens; (2) the rise of hyper-realistic taxidermy dioramas in natural history museums; and (3) the capture of the non-human world using motion picture technology. Ideas from Donna Haraway's feminist piece, "Teddy Bear Patriarchy: Taxidermy in the Garden of Eden, New York City, 1908-1936" and John Berger's essay, "Why Look at Animals?" position these chronologies within the capitalist and colonialist legacy of wildlife conservation in the United States and as imaginaries for human behavior. The actions of President Theodore Roosevelt and taxidermist Carl Akeley figure prominently in this discussion. A visual synthesis consisting of archival photographs, custom View-Master reels, a site map, timelines, and artists' books ties these threads of history and social criticism together.
