DeuIer Finds
Ry fhe Asseeioted Pfess

& CLIFTON, n. J.. Oct. IA
giraffe Just isn't designed for
fiying. a wild animal broker
from Miami, Fla. learned today.
Is Alton v. Freeman arrived at
the United States Animal Quar-
antine Station here, planning to
ship giraffe by air to Miami
for the Dade County Zoo at
Crandon PARK.
But Mr.. Freeman. owner Of the
Miami Rare Bird Farm, found
that the young giraffe probably
would have to stick its neck out
all the way southland this just
wouldn't work.
So he Cancelled an order for a
special GAG plane and called
Miami for one of his special
animal carrying trucks.
But even truck travel has its
hazards, it seems. The giraffe,
"a six-month old female weighing
1000 pounds. is more than 8
fleet over tall. En- route to Flori-
da, Mr.. Freeman expects to,
meet some low bridges. The
giraffe will have to duck, that's
all. he saws.
