So this cute elderly man (who lives at the nursing home where I work) loves to look at the pictures in magazines. It takes him about 3 months to read one magazine so they are always lying around the nurses station. Anyways, I was looking at his National Geographic and found this flashback picture and story! Too precious not to share.

SITTING KITTY
A patient little cat endures lessons in baboonery. According to notes accompanying the photograph—which arrived at the Geographic in 1956 but was never published by the magazine—"Baboon mother tries to make Fluffy sit up like a good monkey baby. But the kitten always falls back on her four legs. It seems like such a hopeless case." The baboon, named Helen, was an attraction at Ross Allen's Reptile Institute, a roadside zoo funded in 1929 in Silver Springs, Florida. She may have been a holdover from the days when Tarzan movies were filmed in the region and Allen provided animal actors for visiting Hollywood productions.
