Keeper Byron Moore feeds berries to a chimpanzee named Koko at the San Diego Zoo

 

 

 

Grahic Arts Co., Hamilton, Ohio

The caption on what appears to be a black-and-white photograph in the image portion of this picture postcard is "I've got to hand it to you," stating that keeper Byron Moore is with an animal named "Koko." Moore is holding a branch full of what look like berries so that what appears to be a chimpanzee (and not the famous signing gorilla named Koko) can eat the fruit. The chimpanzee is squatting on the ground, while Moore is down on one knee. According to the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources), in 2013 chimpanzeed are classified as "endangered."
