Harambe dying is what set us on the current path. Save Harambe, save us all.

The greatest gift to the world is a Harambe of obscurity. A Harambe known only to his zookeepers and locals.

How many are there currently do you suppose? And is it better for the number to be high or low?

A few thousand people minimum - a zoo that has a gorilla really ought to have enough visits and regulars that know Hidden Harambe's name the way that I know the name of some sea lion at my local zoo because it's on ads when I drive by.

I miss Heroes. Actually I take that back, I miss the first season and the potential that it had.
