The death of the camel at the Auckland Zoo was reported to the Auckland City Council the other evening by the curator (Mr L. T. Griffin), who stated that the animal had been under medical treatment for some time, and the zoo staff had undertaken a great deal of hard work in the hope of saving its life (states the NewZealand Herald). The camel was shown by examination to be a very old animai, and probably it had well outlived the allotted span. It had been presented by Smith, Wylie, and Company in September, 1927, and previously had seen much service as a working animal in Australia.
