LOOK MAGAZINE AD FROM DECEMBER 1955
GORILLA BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1956
Colo, the first gorilla to be born in captivity, was born at the Columbus, Ohio
zoo. Rejected at birth by her mother, zookeepers had to hand-raise Colo
much like a human child, by dressing her in clothes and giving her bottle of
formula. At the age of two years old,she was introduced to a 19-month-old
male from Africa called Bongo. The couple had three offspring, the first
on February 1, 1968, Emmy, a female, Oscar, born July 18, 1969, and
Toni, on December 28, 1971.
Colo is now the oldest living gorilla in captivity, following the death of 55-year-
old Jenny in September 2008.
