was very prettily marked. The
keeper, who was standing near, whis-
pered to me that some day when Mr..
Alligator died the hide would be strip
ped off and tanned. Then, he said,
it would be sold for a good price.
Alligators live part of the time in
the water. They usually live on fish.
When they want to eat they take
their prey down to the bottom of the
water to devour it. AS soon as their
heads go under the water their ears
and Windpipes close so that no water
can get inside. For that reason an
alligator is called ''amphibious, %
which means he can live on land or
in water.

A funny, furry bear was trying to
climb to the top of a very smooth
pole! Lions calling loudly for meat!
Monkeys squealing and jumping
and playing!
Birds twittering. Fishes swimming
in great, big pond.

while near Mr.. Alligator and get quite
friendly. Artist Barnum went over,
under a tree; sat down and drew this

What do you suppose I found out?

to the reptile family" Therefore, he
has cold blood like all reptiles have,
instead of warm blood like we, and
most animals, too, have.
