Description

Forest Park Zoo's Fourth of July babies were big enough to have their pictures taken. Holding the baby lion cubs is Zookeeper Hamilton Hittson. On the left is the boy, "Firecracker," and the girl "Fried Chicken" on the right. They come from a distinguished zoo family. Martha is their mother and Rosie is their grandmother. Mr. Hittson is wearing a button-up, short-sleeve shirt that appear to have muddy footprints along the front.
