    22 December 1956b - OHIO ZOO WELCOMES THE FIRST GORILLA BORN IN CAPTIVITY:
    Colo is born at the Columbus Zoo on this day in 1956. Her parents had
    been surreptitiously put together at night by a zookeeper going against
    his boss's orders to keep them separated. The success of Colo's birth
    will spur a captive-breeding program for western lowland gorillas in zoos.
