And who was the father?
The boy is the first son who was raised in a zoo. In the early 20th century, the zoo's son, William, was an animal keeper in London as the son of George (the oldest person to ever be appointed keeper of the zoo in Scotland, and the only one ever to be a senior zookeeper) .
This was during one of the worst periods in history for the city's animals and their owners, and many of the zoo's animals suffered horribly in his care. After a few years he left London to run the animals in Stroud, the largest zoo in the United Kingdom by today's standards.
The son's father, the son's brother, and the other parents also moved to Stroud, and his son followed in their footsteps, although not in an academic or professional way. The boy's father was the son of a former animal keeper, and died when he was 16, and the boy's dad was the father of a vet who died young.
The son's brother was born in 1875, but died before he could leave the sanctuary. The zoo's son's brother was the son of a zoologist who later became a zoologist at the University of Alberta in Canada who worked in an orphanage with some of the zoo's animals.
In 1891, the zoological facility in Stroud was closed, and the zoo's animals were moved to the newly constructed Edinburgh Zoo, which at the time looked very much like its present- day equivalent (as of 2007- 2008 the Edinburgh Zoo is a privately owned and operated museum in Edinburgh) .
With no living offspring of their own, all the animals, even the male apes, were now orphans. The baby in the zoo was the second offspring of these two older brothers- the first being the son of the zoo's son's sister.
A year or two after the zoo's son's dad died, his son moved to Oxford Zoo, and left Oxford for Cambridge by way of Toronto. Now a graduate student at Oxford, he returned to Oxford in 1900 and was born the second of four children.
While at Oxford, the zoo's son became the first child to ever work in a zoo. On returning to Cambridge in 1912, he took the job of keeper of the giant Bengal tigers, known colloquially as the "Tigre's Bears.
" In 1910, the oldest person ever appointed keeper of a zoo (according to Wikipedia) was the oldest surviving person who is still alive. In 1913, at the age of 32, the zoo's son returned to Toronto, and lived there for over a decade, before settling into Cambridge, where now he lives at the Cambridge Aquarium and is known as the "Calamity Panda.
" In a story that has become famous in the Cambridge community among children, after being admitted to the zoo in 1910, the young man was greeted by staff and fellow visitors in the zoo lobby and described as being "an unruly, unruly boy" by one of them.
When asked to go into the enclosure, he refused, and said that he was not welcome as a boy. The attendant then called the zookeeper, the son's wife, to explain what the problem was. The young man was sent to an examination desk before being returned to the zoo.
He was later told that he was sent there in order to keep him quiet and to control him. He explained to the zookeeper that he was afraid of crowds or crowds in general, and so was sent out of the zoo to live in a zoo in another city.
Some years later, the boy became a zoo consultant in the United Kingdom, but did not get any work at the Cambridge zoo. He became the first consultant ever appointed to a zoo in the United Kingdom. The boy lived in the Cambridge Zoo until the end of the 20th century, at which time he died, at the very ripe old age of 66.
The zoo continued to be in operation until 1988, when they closed down permanently. The zoo was one of the largest in the world at the time. The oldest person ever appointed keeper of a zoo in the United Kingdom was a woman, born in 1890.
The young man was the first son ever raised in a zoo. The zoo's son's father died when he was 16, and the boy's father was the father of a vet who died young. The zoo's son's brother was born in 1875, but died before he could
