Summary

Pathe synopsis: Over 300 birds and 100 different types of animals can be seen at Grahame Dangerfield’s British Wild Life Zoo and Sanctuary. Most of the animals, like Bob the Badger and Freda Fox, arrived here as orphans or unwanted pets and there’s even a Kinkajou and a South American Ocelet. They’re all residents, of course, but we visited the Hertfordshire sanctuary on the day a swan was released after recovering from a flying accident.
