1968 - Gorilla Apes His Keeper - And Learns To Swim: Water play is not something gorillas play - in fact they have a version to it. Aruna, a 7 year old gorilla at Nigerias Ibadan Zoo, is an exception to the norm - she loves the water, and is learning to swim by copying the movements made by her keeper. To prevent Aruna and her mate from drowning by getting out of their depth, the most of the gorillas compound has been provided with a electri-ied fence and underwater rails.
