Notes

General Note:
Written on verso: "MATERNAL DEVOTION: Lowland gorilla Josephine provides tender, loving care to her baby, Moja. Moja, which is Swahili for the number "one," is the first gorilla to have been born at the modern Miami Metrozoo. Open just three years, Metrozoo is already reproducing the three species of great apes: gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans, all of which are endangered species."
