Alligator Scrubbing (1953)

No titles. London. At London Zoo we see various shots of alligators in and around their pool, being prodded with sticks by Head Keeper, Reg Lanworn. A crowd of people watch. Keeper Ted Dexter comes into the enclosure and the two men wash an alligator, one pointing a hose at the beast while the other scrubs with a broom. Note: notes and cutting on file.
