ZOO BABIES
A RARE BIRTH OCCURS, (United Press Association—Capyright) LONDON, October 28. Among the recent births in the London Zoological Gardens are an ocelot kitten and an American bison. Ocelots have not bred in the Gardens for nearly 80 years and the kitten was found in the cage of the female that had arrived only a fortnight before. Bison breed regularly in captivity, which is fortunate, as the species is nearly extinct in the natural state.
The London Zoo recently received a baby crocodile, which is now only 6 inches long, but which is expected to grow to the full length of 10ft in about 40 year*.
