Page 10 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1978 Cincinnati gorillas get new home( llaa s work on display United Press International Cincinnati — The Cincinnati Zoo has liberated its gorillas. The zoo Wednesday moved half its 14 gorillas from small, indoor cages to a $2 million outdoor area complete with 20-foot waterfalls, grass, trees and growing bamboo shoots. And all that separates the gorillas from visitors is a 14 foot-wide moat. Zoo officials determined how ever, that gorillas cannot jump that far. How did the gorillas take the transition from cages to the great outdoors? Well, on Wednesday, most of the gorillas gingerly walked about the area, not so much because of the new environment but because the a 400- The Best •Pizxti In Town! Honest.

Box 13475, Austin, Texas 78711 biggest gorilla of the lot — pound male named Hatari — im mediately established himself as king of the turf. “It’s a case of the dominant gorilla setting himself up as boss,” gorilla keeper Bery Pannkuk said as he watched Hatari run off any smaller gorilla who wandered his way. “They’re playing a big game of hide-and-seek. ” Not only were the gorillas out doors for the first time, they also were living together for the first time. “There’s going to be some fight ing,” zoo director Ed Maruska said as Hatari, a King Kong look-alike, grabbed a little gorilla and gave it a through shaking. “It happens in the best of families.” “But,” Pannkuk'added, “once the order of things is established, they all will be happier outdoors and much healthier. The fresh air and sunshine will be good for them. Most of them have never even seen the blue sky, let alone rocks and birds.” The zoo, which holds the world record for the most gorillas born in captivity — 10 — will not be able to allow its most famous ape, 28-year old “King Tut,” to live outdoors. “King Tut,” it turns out, can’t see well enough to cope with the moat, the waterfalls aifd tree trunks. “We put him out as a test to see if he could get along, but his sight was so bad that he ran into things and began moving around very tenta tively,” said Maruksa. “We were afraid he’d fall into the moat. “King Tut” will continue to live in the cage that he knows by heart, along with a couplq of other gorillas for company. during May Richard S. Hall’s watercolors and sketches are being displayed in the Memorial Student Center Gallery and will be shown until May 27. Hall, a medical illustrator, is cur rently head of the biomedical learn ing resources center at the Texas A&M University College of Veteri nary Medicine. Many of Hall’s works are outdoor scenes, several of these are of the Texas coast where he grew up. Hall has exhibited and won awards in several open and in vitational shows from Texas to New York. “Most of my work is of a literal nature because I feel more people can enjoy and relate to literal art,” Hall says. Hall graduated from Texas A&M in 1966 with a B.S. in zoology. He received his masters in medical il lustration from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas in 1971. Hall says he prefers drawing and water colors.
