The massive young rhinoceros consorting with these 

 two East African goats is a curious sight ! The 

 public that is to say, the public which frequents our 

 Zoological Gardens on a Sunday does not know what to 

 make of them. " Look, children," you may hear pater- 



" FATIMA," MY YOUNG RHINOCEROS, AND HER MESSMATE, THE GOAT. 

 THIS GOAT STILL KEEPS HER COMPANY IN THE BERLIN ZOOLOGICAL 

 GARDENS 



familias remark ; " look at the rhinoceros and the poor 

 little goats. Isn't it sad ? He will eat them up." 



It does not enter the good man's head that an unselfish 

 feeling of friendship, a crying need of companionship, 

 can find a place in the heart of this uncouth denizen of 

 the wilderness. You will look in vain for any under- 

 standing of the great thick-skinned exile in the minds of 

 the thousands of human visitors who imagine themselve , 

 quite wrongly, so infinitely his superior.
