The buffalo that in nature looks healthy and silken, in a zoo is a mangy creature with matted mane and dirty skin. Can those who see buffalo in captivity ever conceive how beautiful they can be? What a pity that most young people instead of seeing on animal in nature – which is worth a hundred in any zoo- must derive their knowledge of God’s creatures from their appearances in prison.
