It's a shame Harambe didn't act the same way.I'm sure gorillas, like humans, have all varying types of personalities.
Interesting difference in this I immediately noticed none of the people started screaming or freaking out. With Harambe, he didn't even notice the boy until the people up top started screaming, and the keepers said all the screaming and hollering is probably what got him agitated.
I just watched another video where a primate behavior specialist says he wasn't acting aggressive, but protective, and the dragging was him trying to keep the child away from the agitated and yelling humans, who it seemed to feel were a threat to the boy. Point being even the experts don't agree. The zoo still had to do what it had to do.
Think it being Brits vs Americans has anything to do with it? I've heard that Americans tend to be MUCH noisier in emergencies than any other group of people. We should try and train ourselves out of that.
