Character sketch of Nandy
Nandy was a female gorilla and was bought as a companion to the male gorilla N'Pongo.
Her habits and behaviors showed feminism. She drank the milk from a stainless-steel dish while lying down on her stomach.
She was kept in a separate cage opposite to that of N'Pongo.
Nandy was a fat gorilla, with glossy fur, satin skin and large lustrous and impressive eyes.
She had a large scar on her head which showed the sign of maltreatment.
Such ill treatment met in the hands of humans, made Nandy be anti-social. She did not trust anyone easily, neither N'Pongo nor the others.
Her sober and frightened face made Nandy pitiable.
Though initially she was distrusful of N'Pongo she soon developed good relationship with him.
She was a quiet gorilla and enjoyed the practical fun of N'Pongo.
Slowly Nandy became accustomed to N'Pongo, the life of the Zoo and its caretakers.
