For the first time in 50 years, the Kenyan Jumping Hare is represented at the London Zoo. Five of the animals, they have the head of the English hare and the body and longtail of the Wallaby, had just been put on view after the period of quarantine which followed their arrival from Kenya. The newcomers opinion of the zoo life does not seem particularly high so far, they are trying to borrow their way out of the enclosure. It's all labour in vain, however because the zoo authorities have very thoroughly placed a barrier of wire netting beneath the surface.
