Consider the time Charlene Jendry, a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo, learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object.

去掉"a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo", 句子缩减为:
Consider the time Charlene Jendry learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object. 这是一个省略了"Please"的祈使句. 完整的句子是:
Please consider the time Charlene Jendry learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object.
根据原文的上下文:

The stories they tell us reveal what I'm convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animals perform when dealing with captivity and the dominant species on the planet — humans.

Let's Make a Deal
Consider the time Charlene Jendry, a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo, learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object.

consider the time: 在这里可以翻译为: 例如有一次, 比如说那一次.

全句翻译:比如说有一次在哥伦比亚动物园中, 保护管理论者Charlene Jendry得知一个叫Colo的雌猩猩在把玩(或摆弄)一件可疑物品。

想想查伦时代,……
conservationist [简明英汉词典]
[7kEnsE5veiFEnist]
n.(天然资源的)保护管理论者
Columbus [简明英汉词典]
[kE5lQmbEs]
n.哥伦布(美国俄亥俄州首府)

想想那次,Charlene Jendry,哥伦比亚动物园的一位天然资源保护管理论者,听说一个叫Colo的母大猩猩老是玩弄一件可疑的东西。

the time =that time

was handling 表示是大猩猩的习惯性动作,做了多次了

a suspicious object应该是泛指,不一定代表“一个”,,或可译成“可疑物品”。

Charlene Jendry 是人名,Charlene Jendry 查伦·延德里
