[Photograph 2012.201.B0223.0830]
Description:
Photograph taken for a newspaper owned by the Oklahoma Publishing Company. Caption: "Shucks, I don't need nay help," says this young chimpanzee as he manipulates the indicator on the scale at the Philadelphia, PA., zoo. However, the young fellow wasn't very accurate in determining his weight. The Philadelphia zoo is highly weight conscious, and its scales are constantly in use. Exceptions are some of the more dangerous animals, which can't be moved safely from their cages."
