3043 Code FAGO Housekeeping at the Zoo Ditmars
The subject opens with a thorough sweeping and bathing of the Elephants, followed by an oiling of their skin, which is sometimes necessary to preserve its flexibility when the animals are in confinement. Then a baby Orang-outang is shown amusing itself in a bucket. Then the Bears are given a bath and the Cassowary gives an exhibition in hard kicking. In this, however, he is easily surpassed by the Kangaroo who follows. Then the Wild Horse of Thibet is shown as one of the most vicious of wild animals, in his attempt to attack a man up a tree and later in tearing a dummy man to shreds. The Russian Stag is shown to be about equally vicious. Then the Tapir is shown with its peculiar markings, followed by a couple of Alpacas who look very much like young Llamas. The Indian Rhinocerous is shown in his armor-plate skin and the brilliant coloring of the Axis Deer is in strong contrast. Next follow close-ups of the Musk Ox, Canadian Lynx, Peacocks, Tortoises and Wild Turkeys.
