Toto Shows Affection for His Lifelong Mentor


Mrs. E. Kenneth Hoyt, of Havana, Cuba, acquired the gorilla in 1932 when he was three months old. Mr. Hoyt had just shot Toto’s father in the French Congo. African villagers, without the knowledge of the Hoyts, then killed the mother. Mrs. Hoyt, unwilling to see the baby die, procured an African nurse for the gorilla and he thrived on human milk.
