THE ROOSEVELT OCTOPUS
An odd compliment has been paid to the President of the United States and it comes from the Galapagos Islands on the Equator whe/e the giant tortoises of the Zoo were Tound. The Galapagos are famous for other rare reptiles, birds and fishes, and an octopus hitherto unknown to natural history has just been found there. In honour of the President it has been named Octopus Rooscvelti. It is a compliment, for the octopus is a creature which when it takes hold of a job will not let go.
