A Dolly Warden Coon.

A queer little coon holds one den all alone. He is
unconscious comedian and appears to be posuring
a la stage funny man all the time Keeper Anderson
explains the Dolly Warden elevation of Mr. Coon
resulted from accident in which the animals back
was broken. The injured vertebrae knitted in such
a way that the coon has the appearance of mincing
along with his shoulders very low and his hips very
high Across the middle of his back the skin is hair
less while the front and parts of the body have
the natural soft covering pertaining to well condi-
toned coons With slow but agility this queer
takes his exercise by climbing about the bars
of the cage in awhile, but usually he is resting
and blinking softly in the his platform.

In bears and buffaloes the Rivervew park ZOO

features very much is left to be desired A year ago
the deer park had twentythree inmates but the cold
rains and seet OF the spring OF 9lO destroyed seven

for either the deer buffalo In the wild state these
animals had the chance find protection OF some sort
from storms and could hunt dry place to lay by

the storm with the sunshine best they can. And
