Since their mother rejected them in the Frankfurt, Germany Zoo, these gorilla twins have had to depend on each other. The twins--believed to be the first ever born in captivity--hve been kept in special quarters built for them since their birth 3 1/2 months ago. Ellen, left, weighs 9 pounds, 5 ounces; her sister Alice weighs a pound less. Their mother ignored them to care for an older offspring.
