Original Toronto Star caption: Putting the bite on the boss. Perky; the 3;000-pound hippo and Marlie; his 2;000-pound mate; were feeling a little hungry yesterday. So the couple let out a few hearty bellows for keeper Jerry Williams; then settled down to swallow several dozen loaves of raisin bread while hundred of young visitors to the Riverdale Zoo watched open-mouthed.
