Gorilla Goes on Rampage at Local Zoo

Gorilla Goes on Rampage at Local Zoo

A gorilla at the local zoo went on a rampage this morning, causing significant damage and injuring several people.

The gorilla, who has been at the zoo for six years and is popular with visitors, was seen by witnesses tearing down a fence in the ape enclosure and then attacking bystanders. Zoo staff eventually managed to corner the animal and tranquillize it.

"It was terrifying," said one eyewitness. "The gorilla was just going crazy, tearing everything apart."

Three people were taken to hospital with injuries, including one person who was bitten by the gorilla. The zoo is now assessing the damage caused by the rampage and is reviewing security measures.

Gorilla King crowned in Rwanda

Gorilla King

Nestled in the foothills of the Virunga Mountains, Rwanda is home to some of the last remaining mountain gorillas on Earth. On a recent visit to Volcanoes National Park, I had the opportunity to witness one of these beautiful creatures being crowned as king.

The gorilla king is selected based on his size, strength and dominance within the group. This year's winner, a massive silverback named Kabirizi, was clearly well deserving of the title. He was constantly fighting for dominance among his peers and was often seen leading the others through the forest.

Kabirizi's coronation ceremony began with all of the males in his group gathering around him and bowing their heads in respect. The park rangers then presented him with a wooden crown made from local materials, signifying his new status as king.

There was a lot of cheering and clapping from the onlookers as Kabirizi proudly accepted his crown. He then displayed some impressive acrobatic skills, swinging from tree to tree like a true champion.

It was an unforgettable experience to see such a majestic creature being honoured like this. If you're ever lucky enough to visit Rwanda, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the gorilla king!

Gorilla Shot After Attacking Young Boy

Weston, WV - Just days after a four-year-old boy was attacked by a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo, one of the gorillas has been shot and killed. The zoo's director, Thane Maynard, has stated that it was the right decision to make, as the gorilla posed a continuing threat to public safety.

The incident began over the weekend when the young boy climbed into the gorilla enclosure and was subsequently dragged around by 17-year-old Harambe. The zoo's emergency response team unsuccessfully attempted to tranquilize the gorilla, leading Maynard to make the difficult decision to shoot him.

Public outcry over the shooting has been swift and vocal, with many people criticizing the zoo for not using other methods to save Harambe. However, Maynard defended his team's actions, saying that they "made a tough call and did what they felt was best."

The four-year-old boy was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center but has since been released. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Gorillas Threaten to Go Extinct

The endangered mountain gorillas may be pushed to extinction because of the Ebola virus.

According to a study in the journal Science Advances, an outbreak of the Ebola virus could wipe out more than one-third of the world's mountain gorillas. The study found that 33% of the population would be wiped out within 10 years if there was an outbreak.

Mountain gorillas are one of the two gorilla subspecies and are only found in Africa. There are around 880 mountain gorillas remaining in the wild. They are listed as critically endangered by the IUCN and face many threats, including poaching, habitat loss, and climate change.

The Ebola virus is also a major threat to their population and could push them closer to extinction. The virus has killed thousands of people in Africa in recent years and has also killed hundreds of gorillas. An outbreak could devastate the population, as it did in 2003 when more than half of the population died from the virus.

Mountain gorillas are extremely important for the survival of all gorillas. They play a crucial role in maintaining genetic diversity and are an important part of their ecosystem. If they were to go extinct, it would be a huge blow for gorilla conservation efforts.

There is a lot we can do to help protect these beautiful animals from going extinct. We need to work together to reduce the threats they face, such as poaching and habitat loss, and we must also fund initiatives that help protect them from disease outbreaks like Ebola.
