Description
An account of the resource
Article from the Daily Record and Mail detailing the acquisition of a new female chimpanzee for The Scottish Zoo. The article describes how the chimpanzee is intended to fill the shoes of the late Wee Macgreegor, a beloved creature who the writer laments as perhaps one of the most interesting of all the exhibits in the collection. The article culminates with its writer celebrating the the new monkeys apparent intelligence, referring to it as unquestionably one of the best illustrations of the Darwinian theory ever exhibited in this country.
