most likely harambe was curious and maybe worried about the safety of the child who just fell into his enclosure. gorilla have very strong social behavior and just as strong pack mentality

There are no documented or verified cases of gorillas snatching human babies out of people's arms and killing them.

There are also no documented cases of "killer whales" attacking humans.

Killer whales is a wrong translation, the correct one is whale killers. Orcas aren't whales, and they are being spotted killing them.

Orcas are whales though? They are dolphins, which are whales

They are cetacean. Whale is a colloquial term that's used to address mostly cetatean but not always, so it's damn confusing and I hate it. If you call every cetatean a whale you get a pass because at least you're consistent.

The confusion probably stems for me from the fact that in finnish cetatean translates to "valaat", which is the same word as the translation for whale. So we don't have different names for those two

But you're the one trying to be serious in a post with hundreds of "Dicks out for Harambe" comments. So. You know, maybe ease up on whatever's stressing you out and have some fun? Take the rest of the week off, make it a long weekend, have a few laughs?

This is quite a take.

What makes you so concerned about gorilla-baby snatching?

Very true. Look at what Jambo did in the same situation.
