the herd, lay: nursing ugly, wounds on
his SCARED old neck. He seemed to.
take special delight in the knowledge
that another young pup had come up,
against him.; challenged him to mortal
combat and had died like a., fighter.
The story Of zalo, whose limp body was
fshed out Of the new sealion tank, is
the common, demonstration of the sur
vival of the strongest. Zalo was born
: on San Miguel island, in the Pacific,
and was brought to the Zoo while still
too young to attract attention of the:
old bull Of the, herd, Pinni, The ter

strength and teeth in the second sum-

path to the leadership Of his genera

him, he is king. If he does not, he
sinks away and his mother disowns

young warrior going to his first joust.
Old Pinni, blinking and showing his
~ teeth, lay on the stone coping across
the pool. The whole herd came out to
see the fight. With one look at his
defeated comrade and another at his
old mother, huddled against the fence,
Zalo went boldly to the fray. His first
onslaught tore the veteran of hun
dred battles from the coping and flung
him ANONYMOUSLY into the water. Zalo
was the more active, but old%sPinni had
the longer teeth. For hours the battle

or twice, Zalo's mother essayed to Join
in the battle, but she was too old and
skunk back whining. Once Zalo got his
firm young teeth deeply fixed in the
neck of the old bull and would have
strangled him, but his teeth were short
and his strength inadequate At last
Pinni fixed his yellow teeth into the
neck of the youngster, and it was all
over. There was one spasmodic tussIo
and the young fighter fell away weak
and bleeding. He swan to the farther
side Of the pool where he tried des

His mother swan around him barking
frantically. zalo sank to the bottom.
