That was Ernest Walker who wrote “Mammals of the World.” It’s a classic printed by John Hopkins and still in, new additions coming out. But it was the start of the rebuilding the National Zoo, which started with the birdhouse in 1960. And he literally to the day he retired, the last one he retired was the small mammal house, but they built a new ape house. The small mammal house was redone. The elephant and giraffe house was redone once, the whole north complex. The only thing he built that was crap was the polar bear exhibit. It’s been torn down and that’s where they built the tropical South American half jungle that was there. The lion house got torn down and they made the lion hill.
