Notes

General Note:

Written on verso: "One, Two, Three…PUSH! Zookeeper Bill Doss is trying hard, and also hoping hard that Spike doesn't decide to back up anyway. It was Spike's first birthday, and Doss is trying to show him over to his birthday watermelons, which were given to him in honor of the occasion at the Miami Metrozoo. Spike is the only captive - born Asian elephant calf in the Southeastern United States."
