Description

"[Sargent Johnson's] group of animals of cast terrazzo (a camel, burro, grasshopper, duck, hippopotamus and elephant), each approximately 26 inches long, 24 inches high and 12 inches wide, and variously colored coral, green and gray, were placed in the Child Care Center Playground of the Sunnydale Housing Project."

Apparently Johnson, who was a friend of Bufano's, was careful not to use the same animals that Bufano used.
