OCELOT AND BISON
RECENT BIRTHS IN LONDON ZOO.
BABY CROCODILE ALSO RECEIVED.
(British Official Wireless.) Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, Oct. 28.
Among recent births in the London zoological gardens are an ocelot kitten and an American bison. Ocelots have not been bred in the gardens for nearly 80 years, and tire kitten was found in the cage of a female that had arrived only a fortnight before. Bison breed regularly in captivity, which is fortunate, for the species is nearly extinct in the natural state. The London zoo has recently received a baby crocodile, now only six inches long, which is expected to grow to the full length of ten feet in about 40 years.
