While few menageries or geological
gardens include hippopotami among
the members of the animal world
which they contain, the general public
is nevertheless quite familiar with the
appearance and characteristics of the
great ungulates. They have been de-
scribed in word and picture by in
Vulnerable naturalistS, historians,
and writers, even of the earliest times.
We find unmistakable reference to
them in the records of the ancient
Egyptians, and to-day there is little
doubt that the behemoth of the Bible
was identical with the hippopotamus.
The Central Park Zoo of New York
City, is particularly fortunate in the
possession of three splendid speci-
mems, a pair of older animals and
young one. The pair, Caliph and Miss
Murphy, are well known, not only to
those directly interested in these mat
tiers, but also to the reading public, for
the huge brutes have been described
and pictured in various publications.
Caliph, the great male which is the
subject of the accompanying interest
ing engravings, has been in the Cen
trail Park Zoo since 1889, while his
mate, Miss Murphy, has been included
in the collection for a somewhat short
er period. These two have proven re-
markedly prolific, and have presented
an admiring public with eight healthy
offsprings, and these, with the excep-
ton of the young one at present in the
Park, have been sold to other menag-
cries. This is not an exceptional case,
for strangely enough these curious
beasts thrive well in captivity, and
breed not infrequently. Were it not
for the difficulty formerly experienced
in securing original pairs, they would
to-day be far more common in ZOO
logical parks. Needless to say, it is
very difficult to capture the hippipo-
tamus in a wild state and transport
the animal uninjured to civilization,
