My uncle knew Dali in the late 1970s. Dali gave him this photo with a personal assignment: for Albert van Dam Hommages
As the godfather of surrealism, it is not surprising that Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) had a thing for exotic animals. He used many of them for his paintings or performance art, probably the most famous of which was when he walked through Paris with an anteater for a day in 1969. Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, neither the anteater nor others were kept by Dalí. He did, however, keep one suitably exotic and mysterious pet, a Colombian ocelot he named Babou, derived from the Swahili word "babu," meaning baby.
