Original Toronto Star caption: Ebenezer the Alligator has lived at the York Animal Control Centre on Eglinton Ave. W. for four years; under the care of George Banton; who's in charge of the centre. York holds pets and strays for adoption rather than destruction; and the centre is home to Eau de Cologne the skunk; Scuttlebutt the duck and Inky the crow. They go out by the day to visit schools and clubs to be studied.
