Excerpt from New York Zoological Society: Forty-Eighth Annual Report for the Year 1943 This report would not be complete without reference to the three exhibits of particular interest: the Gorillas, the Pandas and the Moose. Details of weight increases in the first two species will be found in the Veterinarian's report. It is sufficient to report here that all four animals have averaged satisfactory progress over the year. We had hoped that we could bring about a happy union of the young Gorillas, so that they could share a cage and grow up together. Practice, however, has shown that the vigor and strength of the male make him too much for the female. Their play is still exceedingly rough and since she naturally tires first, she is in definite danger of injury from her exuberant young companion. We plan now to allow the animals to play together occasionally, to separate them as soon as the fun becomes too strenuous and to hope that as they approach maturity, they will become less violent.
