02:10You're rapidly daly.
02:20How do you know that breed?
02:22Don't annoy that lion. It's dangerous.
02:25Can't you read that sign?
02:27You'd better take my advice and leave him alone.
02:29Shame, shame. You're a bad boy.
02:34The skunk cage is always a center of interest.
02:46Well, we're lucky.
02:49It's feeding time for the giraffe.
02:52Come on.
03:08Listen now, Bella.
03:09This is the second time I've had to speak to you.
03:12Leave that lion alone. I'm warning you.
03:15I'm a bad boy.
03:17And here we come to a family of white rabbits.
03:24Of course, you all know how fast they multiply.
03:27Now, over here in the birdhouse, we find the wise old owl.
03:41Who?
03:42You.
03:43Me?
03:44Yes.
03:45Ooh.
03:46An interesting bird is the South African talking parrot.

03:54I said, uh, Polly want a cracker?
03:57Nah.
03:58Give me a short bear.
04:00Another interesting bird is the Alcatraz jailbird.
04:07I didn't do it, I tell you.
04:08Okay.
04:09I was framed, see.
04:10Yeah.
04:11I'm innocent.
04:12I want to see the DA.
04:13They can't do this to me, see.
04:15They can't hang this on me.
04:16I didn't do it, I tell you.
04:18I didn't do it, I tell you.
04:19Oh, he did so do it.
04:21I saw him with my very own eyes.
04:24So there.
04:28Over here, we find Mother Ostrich on her nest.
04:40Well, you do have something to crow about.
04:43Oh, oh, oh, look out, look out.
04:46Well, a jackpot.
04:49Oh, this is so fun.
04:59For the last time, you'd better stop annoying that line if you know what's good for you.
05:06I'm a bad boy.
05:10New to the zoo is an elephant just in from Africa.
05:15Hello, it's West Company.
05:17This is Joe Jumbo.
05:18We'll send it up right away.
05:22You know, those guys have had my twunk for a week.
05:29And here we have, well, these are some things we had left over from that last New Year's party.
05:36Pacing back and forth in their cage, we find two restless panthers.
05:46Bread and butter.
05:46Bread and butter.
05:47Bread and butter.
05:48Bread and butter.

05:52Well, here we have J. Wellington Buttonhook.
05:55Mr. Buttonhook used to thrill thousands at the circus by putting his head in a lion's mouth.
06:00In this cage, we find the Rocky Mountain Wildcat.
06:13Hey, bud, hey, hey, just a minute, bud.
06:15Tell me, just what made you wild?
06:18What made me wild?
06:20What made me wild?
06:21Well, I'll tell you.
06:22They called my name out at bank night and I wasn't there.
06:33Well, I guess that little fellow finally took my advice and went home.
