1962 Press Photo Topsy piglet London Zoo

"Topsy" Has Her First Outing - At The London Zoo... To be seen by the public for the first time at the Children's Corner - London Zoo - yesterday was "Topsy" a three weeks old piglet.. During her outing 'Topsy' turned rebel - and raced away from her young handlers... But she was soon caught - and taken back into gentle custody - for she is very valuable - being the first of her species to be born in this country... She has been given the rather undignified title of "Vietnamese Po-Belly".. Keystone Photo Shows:- "Topsy" - has a welcome-back kiss 'Eskimo' style - from her attendant - young Julie Pudderphat... at the London zoo..
