ANIMALS FOR ZOO
BUFFALO AND ELK FROM CANADA.
VANCOUVER.
A pair of Canadian buffalo and a pair of Canadian elk, formed part of the assorted cargo carried by the m.s. Hauraki which sailed from here on November 24. The animals came from the Canadian Government game sanctuary in Northern Alberta as a present from the Dominion to the Wellington Zoological Gardens, New Zealand. Following their capture at the Elk Island National Park, the animals were subjected to medical inspection and given a clean bill of health.
