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

Hidden Harambe Heals

And, of course, George W. Bush.

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.
