A Cincinnati school has made a gorilla the new mascot for its football team in an apparent tribute to killed primate Harambe.
Cincinnati Zoo’s male silverback gorilla was shot dead in May after a three-year-old child fell into his enclosure, prompting widespread grief and anger.
And video and pictures from a local school football game have emerged, showing a person dressed in a gorilla outift chasing after somebody in a banana costume who is carrying a sign that reads: “RIP Harambe”.
In still images, the gorilla is seen dragging a child by the arm around the football pitch in a manner reminiscent of the way in which the real Harambe was seen doing to the three-year-old boy who fell into his enclosure.
In other scenes, the gorilla elicits a rapturous response from the crowd during a bout of frenetic dancing.
