Giant gorilla arrives for Brackenridge Park show
An adult male gorilla nicknamed Big Boy or Big Hog, claimed to be the only living adult gorilla captured, was brought to San Antonio about eight weeks ago from Belgium via Browns Island. The animal stands around five feet three inches, with a six foot tall erect height and about 50 pounds, weighs roughly 50 pounds, and eats two dozen oranges two dozen raw eggs and six loaves of bread daily. He will be exhibited at Brackenridge Park for one week beginning Sunday, with keeper W. A. Ring noting his playful habit of reaching out of his iron cage to grab spectators.
