Kids Have Fallen Into Gorilla Enclosures In The Past But With Different Endings

Before the Cincinnati Zoo tragedy involving a little boy and a giant gorilla, there have been other, similar encounters that ended without the primate being shot to death. In 1986, a 5-year-old boy named Levan Merritt fell into a gorilla enclosure and was knocked unconscious. A silverback gorilla named Jambo stroked the boy's back as if to soothe him. In 1996, a 3-year-old boy tumbled more than 20 feet into the gorilla exhibit. She placed him near the cage's door and stepped back as zookeepers picked up the child. #InsideEdition

    Jambo deserves the highest honor an animal can receive.

    I will never understand how a parent can let their kid even get close to falling into a gorilla pit. Truly mind boggling..

    1.) These zoo's need to fix their dam railings.

    Those gorillas had so much love in them. It’s crazy how much they understand.

    Not every parent deserves kids but every kid deserves parents

    None of those kid would've fallen in if the parents were paying attention

    The kids being conscious and unconscious weren’t the only difference in the videos. People were throwing stuff at the gorilla, so he dragged the boy to safety.

    People talk about how the child in cincy could have had his limbs torn out of socket and stop thinking right at that point. If people could still think critically and do research for themselves they would find that gorilla toddlers the same age have the muscle density of grown and strength to match. Being handled the way that boy was would be completely normal to them and Harambe would never have thought otherwise for a human child.

    When a gorilla is a better parent than the actual parents...

    These gorillas have better parenting skills than the parents themselves 💀

    Stupid parents man. You better put a leash in those kids because it’s obvious they can slip away in one second.

    Obviously the kid was in better hands than ever before my hats off to herambe and his heroic behavior and I wish we all were able to celebrate for this animals almost human behavior. In fact it might have taught us as humans to never judge a book by its cover. LONG LIVE THIS ANIMAL AND MAY HE NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
