Some of the shots, in the words of Baedeker, need not detain the movie tourist: such standard screen-travel stuff as gamboling hippopotamuses, lolling lions, native dances, Pygmies. But the picture also has more than its share of unusual sequences: a couple of male elephants in a ponderous tusk-to-tusk battle over a female; a 600-lb. sea lion being roped in a net; a beautiful pelican water ballet along the southwest African coast; French Equatorial Africa tribal warriors, armed with ancient muskets, on a gorilla hunt; a hilarious ostrich rodeo at the Carr Hartley animal farm in Kenya; a muzzled cheetah trained to run down the fleet young Thompson's gazelle.
Most dramatic shot: a blood-freezing sequence, accidentally photographed from behind a camera blind, of a leopard silently stalking and clawing a native boy before being driven off.
