Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Strangest sight of all at the zoo was this zebra which appears to have six legs. It actually is keeping warm by wearing special pyjamas; as keepers call them. Even the camels; normally dwellers in some of the warmest countries; are managing to bear up under cold and continue to forage in their compounds.
