...take over the directorship of the Buffalo Zoo. There he found, an institution that was smelly, filthy and ratinfested. He cleaned it up. He doubled the animal population (a mere 400 specimens when he arrived). He designed and supervised the building of a new reptile house; its natural-habitat display cases, with fluorescent lighting, set a new standard for U.S. zoos. But he had difficulties; the Buffalo Zoo was mired in city politics. In 1944, he quit and went to Chicago...
