Thirty-five miles north of Miami, in the glitter ing sunlight of South Florida, lies a bit of darkest Africa. It's a 350-acre spreod called "Africa, U.S.A.," in which wild animals of the dork continent run free behind 10-foot wire fences carrying a slight electric charge to discourage high-jumping critters with a tendency to roam. This unusual "zoo,^' pictured here, has become a top tourist attraction since it was opened last spring. The visitors may ride in an electric -train right through the jungle and its herds of wild animals, or recline on the cushions of electric boats that cruise through alligator- infested waters. It was created by John Pedersen, a former resident of Racine, Wis., who got the idea for it when his son remarked that the Everglades re sembled what he had always thought Africa looked like. Pedersen went to Africa to get the animals, and the project was started. ??IWWWMMUMfr ' l-.V IfPI ii?i 1 1 ? . HUMP-PH! Comtls loaf on rivtr bank, with all th# offset of a Nilo sotting. OWNER.
