Director Hornaday had been trying to
get speciamen of the animal for five
years He was in constant communica-
tion with the hunters and dealers in
Africa who make living by capturing
live animals for ZOOS and amusement
parks and all sorts of inducements have
been offered for the one who would show
enough enterprise to search the hidden
places in which the pigmies abide.
Other curators in Europe and in South
America have been after the same
quarry. but the little fellows always
Spanaged TO elude the traps of the hunt
crs. The one on the way to the Bronx
ZOO is the second one Of the species ever
taken In captivity and the only one now
living outside of its native haunts in the
African jungle.
How Director Hornaday got The jump
on all the other animal collectors of the
world is rather an interesting story.
The beginning antedates the days when
John Daniel, the famous gorilla of the
Ringling Brothers circus. was lighting
the usual losing battle OF his species
against the hot and crowded atmosphere
Of the show room.
John Daniel was acquired from
London department store by Major
Rupert Penny of the Royal Air Service
and presented TO his young relative, Miss
Alyse Cunningham. for rearing and
training. When 1t arrived at the
Cunningham's house at Is Sloane street.
London, John weighed thirty-two pounds
and was in an enfeebled condition. BY
careful feeding and nurturing the animal
attained such robust health that in
March, 1921, three years later. he
weighed 112 pounds. Later he was
acquired by Ringing Brothers and the
Cunninghams began to experience an in
tense longing for another gorilla pet.
Result of Cunningham Trip.
Tho pigmy pachyderm no Temporal
rily resting at the London Zoo is one OF
the results Of the Cunningham expedition
into the French Congo in search Of an
other gorilla and in tribute to the enter
prise and courage of Abyss Cunningham
and her brother Incidentally she also
captured a live gorilla. which is being
cared for and trained at the same house
where John Daniel spent his early days.
Miss Cunningham proved herself to
be very efficient collector" Director
Hornaday said yesterday. I'VE trans
acted all OF the business directly with
her"
The animal was captured in the French
Congo. ferried down river In canoes and
taken to London. For the benefit OF
scientists and also for the welfare OF
the animal II was decided 70 let II rest
there for "a short period before taking II
on the last lap Of the voyage to New
York
Photographs show that the animal is
exactly like an ordinary sized ele-
phant. although only three feet high.
Pigmy elephants attain a height OF from
four to four and half feet when full
grown. the captured specimen being only
ia years old. These elephants develop
enormously long tusks and have ap-
Detites out of all proportion TO their size.
They will consume i25 bananas day
