On May 28, 2016, a 3-year-old boy visiting the Cincinnati Zoo fell into the moat at the Gorilla World habitat.

Witnesses said they heard the child say he wanted to go into the gorilla enclosure. The boy then climbed a 3-foot-tall fence, crawled through 4 feet of bushes, and then fell 15 feet into a moat of shallow water. Zoo officials immediately signalled for the three gorillas in the habitat to return inside, and two females did so. However, the third gorilla, the inquisitive 200 kg male silverback, Harambe, climbed into the moat to investigate the child splashing in the water.

Harambe became increasingly "agitated and disoriented" by the screams of onlookers. He carried the child through the water, occasionally propping him up when he sat, or pushing him down when he stood. Harambe then carried the boy up a ladder out of the moat onto dry land. Afraid for the boy's welfare, officials made the decision to kill Harambe, doing so with a single rifle shot to the head.
