Summary

Pathe synopsis: At Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire they train animals for TV commercials, but the animals don’t only learn, they teach. At Twycross human beings make friends with baby elephants, apes and ant-eaters and learn that, as with humans, the instinct of self-preservation comes only a hair’s breadth ahead of mother love.
