Paul J. Rainey Memorial Gate, New York Zoological Park)--1934


Bears, birds, antelopes, baboons and a lion, sitting atop a plant sculpture between the two gates.


Three turtles sit on plinths at ground level. The one in the middle, pictured here is supposed to bring good luck, and as such has been rubbed to a high gloss. The two on either side, normally hidden by foliage don't get as much attention.
