Jambo was found dead by his keeper in the gorilla enclosure on 16 September 1992. The publicity on major news channels and newspapers helped ease public fears about the potentially violent nature of gorillas. Most of the incident was recorded on home video, and extensively photographed by zoo visitors. A paramedic and two keepers rescued the boy. When the boy regained consciousness and started to cry, Jambo and the other gorillas retreated in panic, and the silverback led them into a small hut in the corner of their pen. He later stroked the unconscious boy's back. Gorillas live in family groups of usually five to 10, but sometimes two to more than 50, led by a dominant adult maleor silverbackwho holds his position for years.

On 31 August 1986, five-year-old Levan Merritt fell into the gorilla enclosure and lost consciousness. Would you prefer this same subreddit, but only images? Check out /r/DTIpics!
