    I remember that from when I was a small child; it disappeared about 1960 when the Giraffe House was refurbished as part of the Cotton Terraces development.

    If you remember that, you probably also recall Frank Buckland's plaster cast of a hippopotamus calf that adorned the wall of the building; that also "disappeared" about the same time.

    . . . and killed it. Or perhaps it died of natural causes :(
