Original Toronto Star caption: Rabbit hutch is one of the most popular stopping-off spots for children who visit Riverdale Zoo. The rabbits are friendly and playful and look to the youngsters for bits of popcorn and crusts of bread; which the children are usually too earger to supply. Members of the metropolitan Toronto Zooligical Society are looking forward to the day when Riverdale's furred and feathered inhabitants can move to the 1;250 actres of (relative) freedom in new zoo in Scarborougn.
