1900

Around 1900, Bronsart founded an experimental ranch near Mount Kilimanjaro to capture and cross-breed zebras with other equids.

1900 was not a leap year, turn-of-the-century leap years are only leap years if they’re divisible by 400.

In 1900, that area became a National Park, defined as a circle six miles in radius from the summit of the mountain, plus a few other interesting parts on the edge.

To this day, Microsoft Excel thinks that the 29th of February, 1900 is a real day.
