One baby that this writer told about was 

 perhaps two years old, and so strong it took four 

 men to hold him. When he broke loose from 

 his cage, no one dared go into the room to catch 

 him, he was so savage. They opened the door 

 carefully and threw a net over him, and when 

 he was well tangled in it, they rushed in and shut 

 him up, in spite of his kicks and struggles. If 

 any one came near this very naughty baby, he 

 rushed at his visitor with yells, tried to seize 

 him, and acted as if he would tear him to pieces. 



The gorilla baby is an anthropomorphous (or 

 man-shaped) ape, and his name is Troglodytes 

 Gorilla.
