Hubert G. Wells Dies: Hollywood Animal Trainer For ‘Doctor Dolittle’, ‘Babe’ & Many Others Was 88
11.01.2023 - 23:51 / deadline.com
Hubert G. Wells, a longtime Hollywood animal trainer whose many credits include the original Doctor Dolittle, Out of Africa, Babe: Pig in the City and, in 1970, the bizarre kids tv series Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp, died Dec. 25 of natural causes at his home in Thousand Oaks, California. He was 88.

In the following years my animals and, at times, myself as a stunt double, appeared in over 150 films, T.V. shows and commercials.”

Three years later he landed another high-profile training job – high-profile at least among children of the era and, later, devotees of oddball kids TV shows – with Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp. That show featured a cast of chimpanzees in a comic take on the secret agent genre, with the chimps costumed and voiced as humans.
By the mid-1970s Wells was the go-to animal trainer for such action series as The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, Wonder Woman and Manimal. His feature film credits include Born Free (1974), Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Out of Africa (both 1985) and The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986). In 1994 he trained camels for
