Python, and here we have the good luck to arrive just in time to see the elaborate measures that are required to feed this huge reptile.
In another scene we see the head keeper with the aid of a large number of assistants, extracting the fangs from an African Python. This snake is twenty-eight feet in length and weighs two hundred and twenty pounds.
Passing on to the Monkeys we see the Lemur Monkeys, the Sphinx
Baboon, a Rhesus Monkey with her baby, and a Mandril Baboon. Then we
stand with other interested spectators before the cage of some monkeys who
are at play and busily executing all the monkey-shines in their repertoire.

3067 Code FAMIR Wild Creatures in Captivity
Odd Birds and Beasts Our visit to the Zoo now leads us through a more or less unclassified assortment of birds and animals. We see the American Screech Owl, the Barn or Monkey-faced Owl and other birds of this family. Then come the Guinea Fowl, Pheasants, and Pigeons, and afterwards black and brown Cassowaries and Ostriches from different continents.
Our next stop is before the Badgers' cage. There follows the Albino Raccoon, the African Porcupine, the Kangaroo, an assortment of black, white and brown bears, and finally the enclosure in which the Sea-lions are either basking in the sunshine or happily frolicking in their pool, or diving for fish and apparently finding no fault whatever with their lot in captivity. 806 feet standard length Rental $1.50

3069 Code FAMUR Just Monkeys Universal
Threatened in his dugout on the water by alligators, and on land by a hyena, lions and an elephant, the Naturalist and his amusing native guide capture the specimen for which they have been searching.
Brought home, Magnolia is put in the same cage with Horace, whereupon they discover they both used to climb the same trees in their native jungle. They see some humans on the outside of the cage and wonder if they could possibly have ever been relatives. In a dream the monkeys see the tables reversed and they are on the outside of the cage making sport of the same humans.
While done in a humorous vein, the picture affords a very interesting study of monkeys.
