Harambe, of course, was the name of the gorilla killed at the Cincinnati Zoo earlier this year after a 3-year-old boy fell into its enclosure — the gorilla that's become so feted and joked about online (http://mashable.com/2016/08/22/harambe-memes-zoo-stop/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) it forced the zoo to close its social media accounts.
The Philadelphia Zoo will probably **t call its gorilla Harambe. For starters, they don't k**w what *** it is yet, as it's still being held close by its mother.
