  NATURAL 
  REPRODUCTION 
  

  

  Although 
  the 
  Zoo 
  does 
  not 
  have 
  ideal 
  conditions 
  for 
  animals 
  to 
  

   raise 
  their 
  young 
  in 
  captivity, 
  there 
  is 
  generally 
  a 
  fairly 
  satisfactory 
  

   increase 
  from 
  births 
  and 
  hatchings. 
  During 
  the 
  year 
  101 
  mammals 
  

  

  were 
  born 
  and 
  83 
  birds 
  were 
  hatched. 
  Noteworthy 
  among 
  the 
  

   former 
  was 
  a 
  litter 
  of 
  five 
  woolless 
  sheep, 
  an 
  unusually 
  large 
  litter; 
  

   unfortunately, 
  none 
  of 
  the 
  little 
  ones 
  lived. 
  There 
  were 
  also 
  births 
  

   among 
  the 
  reptiles 
  which, 
  however, 
  are 
  not 
  recorded. 
  

  

  The 
  births 
  and 
  hatchings 
  are 
  listed
