WALRUS IN ICE

Introductory intertitle talks of the problems involved in having a stiff neck - especially if you are a walrus. <br/> <br/>Various shots of a zoo keeper feeding medicine to a walrus. Good C/Us of the keeper feeding the walrus with a bottle. The walrus has a towel tied around its neck for some reason - neck ache presumably (how do they know?!). The walrus lies on its back with its legs in the air while it is being fed - obviously likes its medicine. <br/> <br/>Was an item in Pathe Pictorial issue number 634.
