Gorilla Tamoo Joins Scheunemann Family in St Paul Home
The Scheunemann family and their four children have kept Tamoo, a 25 pound baby gorilla, since mid July 1972. Born April 10 1972 Tamoo is the offspring of Casey the famous Zoo gorilla and will soon move to Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville Texas for a two hour nursery care and a five month old companion. Until then Tamoo roams the house, climbs, eats fruit and table fare, and shares daily life with the family. Her keepers say she treats the home as her jungle gym and sleeps in the family's bed each night.
