In 2009 while writing on my first SFZoo blog, gooberssfzoofriends, I discovered a Gorilla named Colo, who was born at the Columbus Zoo on December 22, 1956. Not only was she the oldest living Gorilla in a North American Zoo, not only was she the first Western Lowland Gorilla born in captivity in the World, but she was also our Hasani's Great-GrandMother! Our Jonesy and Zura are the offspring of Colo's Son Oscar, making our newest little one, Kabibe, Colo's Great-GrandDaughter!

Happy Birthday Colo!
(Zura looks just like her!)
