was a hear. Since then, his
“zoo” has grown to over 30
animals, including two ele-
phants, a rhinoceros, three
giraffes, and even a steer.
When Shaffer first starts
an animal, the privet bushes
he uses are about two to
three feet tall. One bush is
planted for each leg of the
animal. As the bushes grow,
they are tied together with
twine to form the animals
basic shape. Trimming carves
the bush into the animal’s
exact shape. About seven
years are required for the
bush to grow fully.
It saved him energy, hut it
still took two days to trim
all his animals.
This menagerie is so un-
usual that it attracts numer-
ous passers-by. “There Ls
someone here almost every
day," Shaffer says. During
the summer, as many as six
families a day stop and walk
through his yard.
