Strange Animal

Strange Animal
Prof Onelli, director OF the Zoo in Buenos
Ayres has organized an expedition to look
for the anachronistic creature reported to
have been seen lately in one of the Andean
lakes of Patagonia. The party will carry
lassos elephant rifles, embalming materials
and high explosives calculated to unroof any
rock or other subterranean refuge the ami
male may seek 1t is hoped to find the ami
NAL and bring it back alive to the BuenoS
Ayres Zoo, but it is resolved, should the
animal be seen, to get it alive or dead. Ma
terial has been taken along to construct a
motor boat on the shores of the lake. If
necessary, the party will make camp at the
lake for the months of the Antarctic winter,
which will begin in June. The lake is fifty
miles from the settlement of "1S de Octo-
bre, and the party must be well provision
ed.
Confidence of good results is felt by Prof.
Onelli because of a relic of hide, bone and
hair which was given to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt on the occasion of his South
American exploration trip He presented
it to the Museum of Natural History upon
his return. 1t is now on visw there in the
collection on the fourth floor.
The relic is piece of wrinkled hide about
one-half inch thick, reinforced by small
nodules of bone, and with tuft of hair
clinging to it, 1t is said to have been found
in cave in Last Hope Inlet, near the
Straits of Magellan, Patagonia. From ex-
ternal appearance it was judged to have be-
longed to an animal that was alive in COM
paratively recent period. The British Mu-
scum has a similar relic. Scientists have
Judged that the relic was. once part of
a ground-sloth.
