Ram Brahma Sanyal
Ram Brahma Sanyal (1858 - 13 October 1908) was the first superintendent of the Alipore Zoological Gardens in Kolkata (then Calcutta). He was a pioneer in captive breeding, and was one of the first zookeepers trained as a biologist. He was a corresponding member of the Zoological Society of London and wrote a handbook on keeping and breeding animals in captivity - ''A Handbook of the Management of Animals in Captivity in Lower Bengal'' (1892) which was reviewed in the journal Nature (4 August 1892).〔Walker, S.: Ram Brahma Sanyal – the first zoo biologist. Zoos' Print Vol. 15, No. 5 (1999): p. 9.〕〔Kisling, V.N.: Zoo history and the Sanyal legacy. Zoos’ Print Vol. 14, No. 4 (1999): p. 2〕 This was the standard handbook for zookeepers for over 50 years until Lee Crandall published ''The Management of Wild Mammals in Captivity'' in 1964. His scientific methods led to the rare birth of a live Sumatran rhinoceros in 1889, an event that was not seen in captivity until 2001.〔(Rhino loses fetus ), ''Cincinnati Post'', 14 November 1997 (Cincinnati Zoo recorded the next live birth in 2001)〕〔(Transcript ) of R.

==Biography==
R. B. Sanyal was born in the village of Mahula in Murshidabad District of present-day West Bengal in 1858. Son of Baidyanath Sanyal, he passed the Entrance examination from Baharampur College.〔Sengupta, Subodh Chandra and Bose, Anjali (editors), (1976/1998), ''Sansad Bangali Charitabhidhan'' (Biographical dictionary) Vol I, , p486, ISBN 81-85626-65-0〕 He came to Calcutta for studies, and joined the Calcutta Medical College, probably in 1870. He gave up his studies on the recommendation of doctors as he developed eye problems. Among early influences on his career was that of Dr. George King, noted botanist and the superintendent of the Indian Botanical Gardens in Shibpur (then the ''Royal Botanic Gardens''), who was a faculty at the Calcutta Medical College.〔D.
