Summary
Pathe synopsis: To maintain a friendly relationship with lions and tigers is not the easiest thing in the world, but to Ernest Engler, Head Keeper at Chessington Zoo, it’s all part of the day’s work. After a good-morning pat for the big cats, it’s a romp with the chimps - who can, on occasions, turn very nasty indeed. But not with Mr Engler.
