PURCHASES 



The National Zoological Park lias been fortunate in purchasing a 

 wild Grevy zebra stallion from Africa. This animal is particularly 

 valuable in that wild blood has been assured in the continued breeding 

 program of the Grevy herd here in the zoo. 



The same is true of a male Masai giraffe import. The reception of 

 this animal completes a trio of these unusual animals, and it is 

 hoped that they will produce fine offspring — important items in the 

 program of the interchange of animals among zoos of the United 

 States. 



A monkey or baboon island is a great attraction to visitors to any 

 zoo. With the hope of a new island exhibit to be built, 16 Gelada 

 baboons from Ethiopia were purchased and are being acclimated as 

 eventual inhabitants of an island exhibit, Geladas are among the 

 most hardy of the primate family, and it is expected that these speci- 

 mens will condition to year-round outdoor environment with minimum 

 heat requirements for their well-being.
