Animal Magic presenting: Animals at Large

on BBC One London

On the outskirts of Arusha in East Africa Johnny Morris and the Carr-Hartley family assemble a collection of African animals for zoos of the world.
From the South and West

This week Johnny Morris visits Arusha in East Africa to see the animal-holding camp of Carr-Hartley, and to help in the actual collecting of animals in the wild. Strictly controlled at Government level, and carefully planned by Carr-Hartley and his sons, the expedition Johnny joined brings back a zebra, a secretary bird, and a giraffe. With more specialist attention and with an entirely new idea of zoos - the releasing of African wildlife in an enclosed section of an English country estate - these animals will probably live longer and more happily than they would in the areas where they were caught. For there civilisation and land cultivation will soon deny them their natural home.
