Summary
Pathe synopsis: From milk - to milk teeth and, at Chessington Zoo, one of the elephants has a 1 1/2 lb milk tooth that is loose. The zoo vet becomes elephant’s dentist and, then, chiropodist to the penguins who have got corns through walking on concrete. He takes a lolly stick out of a pelican’s throat and tries to give a tiger some paw ointment before turning the hose of a hippo and washing the brute.
