Gorilla Hunts Down and Kills Hunter In an astonishing turn of events, a gorilla has been found to have killed a hunter. The gorilla, who was part of a group living in the jungle near the village of Nimba, calmly walked up to the unsuspecting hunter and crushed his skull with his bare hands. This is the first time that a gorilla has been known to kill a human being. The hunter had been tracking the gorillas for some time, thinking that he would be able to bring one back as a trophy for display in his home. However, it seems that he may have underestimated the strength and aggression of these animals. The other members of the group were reportedly terrified by the attack, and several ran off into the safety of the jungle. This event is sure to raise questions about the danger posed by gorillas and how we should treat them. Some people may call for them to be killed or captured and moved to a zoo, while others will argue that they should be left in their natural environment, even if

Cincinnati Zoo's Gorilla Shot After Boy Falls Into Habitat Cincinnati police say a 4-year-old boy has fallen into a gorilla exhibit at the zoo and that one of the gorillas has been shot. The boy was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Police say they don't know yet how serious his injuries are. A witness says the gorilla was "throwing the child around." Zoo director Thane Maynard says the 400-pound, 17-year-old male gorilla named Harambe was shot and killed by a Cincinnati Zoo employee after it failed to comply with orders to return the child. Maynard tells reporters that three other gorillas in the exhibit were called back to their sleeping quarters but Harambe stayed behind. He says the gorilla wouldn't leave the child and was acting "erratically." On Saturday, May 28th, 2016, a 4 year old boy had fallen into the Gorilla Exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo. The child was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical

Gorilla on the loose in New York City! Residents of the Bronx were in for a surprise Wednesday morning when a 400-pound gorilla was spotted running loose through the streets! "I saw it just darting through the street, and I couldn't believe it!" said one eyewitness. "It was like something out of a movie!" The gorilla caused quite a scene as it ran through the streets, with people screaming and fleeing in all directions. Police were called to the scene but were unable to capture the animal. "This is a serious situation," said NYPD spokesman Sgt. Martinez. "We are doing everything we can to locate this gorilla and bring him into custody." The Bronx Zoo has been contacted and is helping police in their search for the animal. The zoo says that the gorilla may have escaped from its enclosure, but they are still investigating. In the meantime, residents of the Bronx are advised to be on alert and stay away from any large apes they may s

Gorilla Shot Dead After Breaking Into Zoo Enclosure The zoo is in mourning after a gorilla was shot dead after breaking into its enclosure. The incident happened at the Cincinnati Zoo on Saturday morning, when a 17-year-old male gorilla named Harambe entered the enclosure of a female, which led to zookeepers shooting him. According to officials, the gorilla was killed to protect the three-year-old boy who had climbed into the pen. The sad news has sparked an outpouring of grief on social media, with many people questioning why the gorilla was killed instead of tranquilized. One Twitter user wrote: "So a beautiful animal has to die because someone's negligence caused it to enter into an area it shouldn't have?" Zoo director Thane Maynard has defended the decision to shoot the gorilla, saying that he would have reacted much more aggressively if he had felt threatened by the child. "It's always a tough decision to make, but it's important to re

The Gorilla, which was said to be about 10 years old, began smashing windows and tearing down fencing in the ape exhibit shortly after dawn. Zookeepers responded quickly, but were unable to contain the animal. The Gorilla then moved on to other parts of the zoo, destroying exhibits and assaulting visitors. At least four people are reported to have been injured in the rampage, including one child who was reportedly bitten by the Gorilla.

In fact, zookeepers say he has been routinely aggressive and difficult to handle since he was brought to the zoo several years ago. This latest incident is sure to reignite the deb

Gorilla Mauls Zookeeper in Rare Attack A zookeeper is recovering after being mauled by a gorilla in a rare attack at the Bronx Zoo. The victim, who has not been identified, was attacked by an adult male gorilla named Kamari around 10:30am Friday morning. Zoo officials say the zookeeper suffered injuries to his head and upper body, and was taken to the hospital in stable condition. Kamari is one of the zoo's three gorillas and is considered very dangerous. He has been at the Bronx Zoo since 2006. In a statement, Bronx Zoo Director Jim Breheny said, "This is an extremely unfortunate incident. Our thoughts are with our keeper and his family." Friday's attack is just the latest in a series of animal attacks at zoos across the country. In March, a lioness attacked and killed a young intern at the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco. In May, a cheetah escaped from its enclosure at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and injured a visitor. Gorilla Invasion: Zoo G

Gorilla shot dead at Cincinnati Zoo after toddler falls into enclosure A three-year-old boy has fallen into the gorilla enclosure at Cincinnati Zoo resulting in the shooting dead of a 17-year-old gorilla. The toddler fell 10 to 12 feet into the enclosure, home to a male western lowland gorilla named Harambe. Zoo workers initially tried to coax the animal away from the child but when that failed, they shot him dead. In a statement, Cincinnati Zoo director Thane Maynard said: "It was a tough decision but it was the right one." Maynard added that the zoo had never experienced this kind of incident before and that safety of the public was their first priority. Animal rights group PETA have criticised the zoo for killing Harambe and called for an investigation.

Gorilla Attacks Zoo Visitor Zoo officials are responding to an incident in which a visitor was attacked by a gorilla. The attack occurred at around 2:15 p.m. when the gorilla, identified as Binky, left its enclosure and approached a man who was sitting near the edge of the exhibit. Witnesses say that the gorilla then grabbed the man by his shirt and threw him to the ground, after which it began to stomp on him. Zoo personnel responded quickly, using pepper spray and a tranquilizer gun to bring the gorilla under control. The man was transported to a local hospital with injuries that are said to be non-life-threatening. This is not the first time that Binky has exhibited aggressive behavior; in March of this year, the gorilla caused minor injuries to two visitors who had climbed into its enclosure. Binky is one of four gorillas who live at the zoo; officials say that he will be placed in quarantine while an investigation into the attack is conducted. Gorilla on the Loose in L

Gorilla Escapes from Zoo, Captured Shortly After Zookeepers at the nearby Folsom Zoo were startled earlier today when a 350-pound gorilla named Brutus managed to escape his enclosure. The incident set off a nearly two-hour-long manhunt, during which Brutus roamed the zoo freely and terrorized both animals and staff alike. The gorilla was finally apprehended after slipping on a banana peel that had been strategically placed by zookeepers. "It's a good thing we caught him when we did," said zoo director Ian McAllister. "If he'd been on the loose much longer, there's no telling what kind of damage he could have done." Brutus is currently in custody and will be facing disciplinary action from the zoo board. In addition, he is likely to be transferred to a more secure facility in the near future.

Gorilla mom protects her baby in family drama at the zoo In a heartwarming scene at the zoo, a gorilla mom protects her baby from her aggressive father. The family drama unfolded when the baby gorilla wandered away from its mother and approached its father. The father gorilla began to act aggressively towards the baby, but the mother quickly came to its defense, standing between them and pounding her chest in a protective display. The rest of the gorillas looked on as the standoff continued, but eventually the father backed off and the family went back to normal. This is not the first time that a mother gorilla has protected her child from a hostile member of the family. In 2015, a gorilla mom in the UK intervened when her son was being bullied by his uncle. So why do gorillas have such strong family bonds? One theory is that it helps them survive in the dangerous jungle environment. A group of gorillas is more likely to be able to defend itself against predators than a lone

His condition is unknown. Thousands of people took to social media to express their outrage over the shooting, with some calling for Maynard's resignation. Others blamed the boy's parents, saying they should have been more careful. This is not the first time a zoo visitor has fallen into an ani

The male western lowland gorilla, named Vandy, was killed after he grabbed and bit the zoo keeper's arm at the Nantes Zoo on Thursday morning.

In the meantime, the injured visitors were treated for minor injuries and released from the hospital. Hank is currently being held in quarantine while the investigation continues.

Gorilla carcass found in national park A gorilla carcass was found at a national park in Africa, raising concerns about the health of the animal population in the area. Rangers discovered the body of a male mountain gorilla on Sunday morning, and officials believe that the animal may have died from natural causes. However, an autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. This is the second gorilla death to be reported in recent months. In March, a female mountain gorilla named Mumba died at a national park in Congo. Her death was attributed to old age, but officials are now investigating whether there may have been other factors involved. The discovery of these two gorillas deaths is concerning for conservationists, who worry that this could indicate a larger problem with the health of the mountain gorilla population. There are currently around 880 mountain gorillas remaining in the wild, and they are listed as critically endangered by the International Union f
