Book description: Laurel Park, CA: Lane Book Company, 1964. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. Maniscalco, Joe. The author of this book was the Director of San Francisco Zoological Gardens. "The stories in this book are the accumulation of many, many years' experience with animals, and they represent highlights rather than everyday occurrences. These things just don't happen every day. Remember, too, that a zoo is not merely a collection of lions and tigers and elephands and such, but is a fascinating accumulation of individuals. Every individual animal, like every individual human being, has his personality, his quirks - and his moments." From the Preface. This book contains anecdotes from San Simeon Zoo as well as the San Francisco Zoo and involve bears, lions, zoo babies, animals that are hotheads and malcontents, and many more. It also asks the question: Do Animals Reason? 255 pages, this book is well illustrated with drawings. The binding is tan and has a few tiny spots on top end of the pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
