* The audience's introduction to Joe as an adult. Gregg is taking a blood sample from a leopard, telling the men he hired to release the leopard from the cage they trapped it in. The screams of the leopard attract Joe, who makes a big entrance and advances to the cage. In an aversion of WhatMeasureIsANonCute, he rips open the cage to release the leopard. Leopards are carnivores who have, in some cases, preyed on gorillas, but Joe only sees the cat as a victim of poachers.
