"Dinah," the baby Gorilla, and "Baldy," the Orang, with his pet dog. "Mike," make a trio hard to beat.

The baby Orang perched on the limb sees a bird's nest with four eggs in it. It's a safe guess that his mouth is watering, for he is a voracious feeder and prefers his eggs à la Raw, straight from the shell. |
This baby Orang is three months old and balances the scales at fourteen pounds. —If he is "husky" and eats with the appetite that befits a growing youngster, he stands a fair chance to tip the scales at 250 pounds when he grows up. |
