And then we try to give some medicine and food or threw some liquid and hope that he would come to the front of the cage and take the food and the medicine. I think that at the north end of the zoo, we had an old barn that was filled with a wonderful antelope. And we had the Buffalo herd, the old bison herd was there at the north end. I can’t recall numbers, but I would guess probably had at that time, maybe six to nine bison in the barn. And they were, of course, special critters to be around as a kid. We all knew the story of the Buffalo out west, and here, all of a sudden I had a bunch to look after. The animals, the Bird House was full of wonderful birds, the Reptile House full of specimens, down in the basement of the Reptile House is where we had the alligators and the crocodiles, as I recall it. The Cat House was always special, it was a wonderful architectural building, was then and still is today, and of course, there we had the big cats.
