02:23The little groundhog.
02:23No.
02:24No.
02:25sign? You'd better take my advice and leave him alone. Shame, shame, you're a bad boy.
02:33The skunk cage is always a center of interest.
02:46Well, we're lucky. It's feeding time for the giraffe.
02:55Listen now, Willa, this is the second time I've had to speak to you. Leave that line
03:13alone. I'm warning you. I'm a bad boy. And here we come to a family of white rabbits. Of
03:25course, you all know how fast they multiply.
03:36Now, over here in the birdhouse, we find the wise old owl.
03:41Who?
03:41You.
03:43Me?
03:44Yes.
03:45Oh.
03:48An interesting bird is the South African talking parrot.
03:53Polly want a cracker?
03:54I said, uh, Polly want a cracker?
03:58Nah. Give me a short beer.
04:03Another interesting bird is the Alcatraz jailbird.
04:07I didn't do it, I tell you. Okay. I was framed, see. Yeah. I'm innocent. I want to see the
04:13D.A. They can't do this to me, see. They can't hang this on me. I didn't do it, I tell you.
04:18I didn't do it, I tell you. Oh, he did so do it. I saw him with my very own eyes. So there.
04:28Over here, we find Mother Ostrich on her nest.
04:31Well, you do have something to crow about.
04:43Oh, oh, oh, look out, look out.
04:46Well, a jackpot.
04:48For the last time, you'd better stop annoying that lion if you know what's good for you.
05:06I'm a bad boy.
05:11New to the zoo is an elephant just in from Africa.
05:14Hello. Express Company. This is Joe Jumbo.
05:19We'll send it up right away.
05:22You know, those guys have had my twunk for a week.
05:29And here we have, uh...
05:31Well, these are some things we had left over from that last New Year's party.
05:36Pacing back and forth in their cage, we find two restless panthers.
05:46Bread and butter. Bread and butter. Bread and butter. Bread and butter.
05:49Bread and butter. Bread and butter.
05:52Well, here we have J. Wellington Buttonhook.
05:55Mr. Buttonhook used to thrill thousands at the circus by putting his head in a lion's mouth.
06:00In this cage, we find the Rocky Mountain Wildcat.
06:13Hey, bud, hey, hey, just a minute, bud.
06:15Tell me, just what made you wild?
06:18What made me wild? What made me wild?
06:21Well, I'll tell you.
06:22They called my name out at bank night, and I wasn't there!
06:26Well, I guess that little fella finally took my advice and went home.
06:48I'm a big boy.
06:51I'm a big boy.
06:56I'm a big boy.
06:57I'm a big boy.
06:59I'm a big boy.
