00:08 The zoo under fire for shooting and killing an endangered gorilla instead of tranquilizing him.

00:15 This whole tragedy was a misunderstanding.

00:18 And then it blew up into a meme and it's unforgettable.

00:22 The story remains still as important today as it was in 2016.

00:30 The killing of Harambe put his name in the news.
