CINCINNATI ZOO GUIDE 
Tarzan, a former chimpanzee, proved a great attraction at 
the Cincinnati Zoo. He died in 1921. After two years’ corre¬ 
spondence with several animal dealers, a very fine female has 
just been secured and named Queen. She is being trained, and 
will in a short time be one of the main attractions in the 
collection. 
The Gorilla (Troglodytes Gorilla). This is the largest and 
fiercest of the man-like apes and wonderful stories are told of 
its ferocity. Gorillas live in families in western Equatorial 
Africa. Their average height is five feet, six inches, their legs 
are short, their arms are disproportionately long, their hair is 
not so long as the chimpanzee. They stay on the ground more 
than the chimpanzee, though at night they sleep in the trees in 
rudely constructed couches. They avoid encounter, but when 
attacked are dangerous. When scared by man, the gorilla 
“sends forth a howl or furious yelp, stands up like an enraged 
bear, and advances with clumsy gait in this position to attack 
his enemy. The hair on his head and the nape of his neck stands 
erect, his teeth are displayed, and his eyes flash with savage 
fury.” 
Orang-Outang (Simla satyrus). The orang-outang is found 
exclusively in Borneo and Sumatra, in the swampy coast 
forests. It usually attains a height of four feet four inches. Its 
legs are very short and its arms are exceedingly long. It is 
extremely hideous in appearance, owing to the projections on 
its jaws and the callosities on its cheeks. It is of chestnut color, 
darkening here and there into brown, and the hair of the face 
is lighter than that of the body. It lives principally on fruit. 
THE GIBBONS (Hylobates agilis ) 
These are species of long-armed apes found in southeastern 
Asia and the Indian Archipelago. There are a number of species. 
They feed on vegetation. They are remarkable for the length of 
their arms, which are so long that they reach the ground when 
standing erect. They have no tail and no cheek pouches. 
We now come to the second division of the Old World 
monkeys.
