The last African Bush Pig has died at the London Zoo-a victim of his own bad temper. No other African Bush Pig will ever be seen, for the breed is extinct. This one; | which arrived at the zoo in August last, was the first one the zoo had secured since 1857. He has a curi- ous mixture. With body and nose like a pig he had the paws, teeth and care of a dog and he was easily tho most sulky and worst tempered. animal in the whole collection. From the day of his arrival from Portuguese West Africa be Wan morose and fierce. Having nothing on which to vent his bed temper, he Bulked and ruled. His vitality suffered, and In the end he died.
