Chimpanzee and Koolokamba, at the Zoological Society's Gardens, 1883. Creator: Unknown
Chimpanzee and Koolokamba, at the Zoological Society's Gardens, 1883....unfortunately, the Chimpanzee, after living a few days, has succumbed, as many of this species have before, to the fatigue and close confinement of a long and tedious journey. He was the largest specimen the Society ever had the chance of procuring, and is, consequently, a great loss. He stood, if upright, about 4ft. 7in.; and...was of a very powerful frame. It is but seldom that these monkeys are kept alive in Europe for any lengthened time; they almost invariably succumb to cold and lung disease, owing, of course, to the changes in our climate. The other animal, the little Koolokamba, is of a rarer species, and is happily thriving well. He appears to be of a hardier constitution. The Koolokamba, which gets its name from saying "Koola! Koolo!" over and over again, in a strong voice, dwells in the forests of Equatorial Africa, and is often seen in company with the chimpanzee. This is the first specimen that has appeared in England, and is an object of great interest to zoologists...It has an immense belly, and is a vegetable feeder, like all the troglodytes; its skull is globular, it has long ears, and seems to have great intelligence, or rather cunning'.
