Notes

General Note:

Written on verso: "OPEN WIDE! It was Spike's first birthday, and zookeepers at the Miami Metrozoo decided to give him a party, complete with watermelons. The baby Asian elephant is being trunk-fed here by his mother Seetna, who also obligingly opened all the melons -- just by stepping on them."
