Summary
Pathe synopsis: Anything is likely to happen when it’s re-stocking time at the Welsh Mountain Zoo. One of the woolly monkeys from South America escapes and the Mississippi alligators, all the way from sunny Miami, need as much careful handling as the giant boa constrictor. Here’s a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse of an off-season task which is repeated in zoos throughout the country.
