| Description: | Shaky, jumpy, light in contrast and imagery Year-old 'Miss Congo,' more dead than alive when she made the trip to the Chicago zoo (Brookfield Zoo) from her native Belgian Congo, puts on weight and tries out stunts for her keeper. An embargo makes the beast the last of its kind that will come to America. A little baby gorilla no more than a few months old is taken out the nursery and showed off to the public. He is given a ball to play with for awhile and later handed a glass of juice, he is quick to learn how to drink properly out of a cup. | |
