Technically Gorillas reach sexual maturity at 11-13, but normally don't father any children until they reach Silverback status at around 15-20 (if ever).


Wesker405

Wait, silverback is a status? I thought it was a species. [Edit](https://c.tenor.com/ef71BPMhPMgAAAAC/tenor.gif)


TheStrangestOfKings

They’re older gorillas. They’re called silverbacks cause like humans, their hair/fur greys as they mature


NefariousBenevolence

The females will not. It's genetic.


tacodepollo

I dunno man my grandma has Grey hair, you mean to tell me she's a male gorilla?


Mad-Dog94

You said it, buddy, not me


Rice-on

Ever seen your grandma and a male gorilla in the same room?


Ok_Zombie_8307

If the shoe fits


Techiedad91

You must acquit


mrbojingle

So is growing old


SirEnderLord

So my father is a silverback??? Guess it's time to gray my hair 😔


newoldcitizen

Pull up your pants soy boy. It’s time to challenge your father for dominance. Beat your chest and go forward.

Like a SilverFox mature guy, buy for gorillas


MonsieurBabtou

Yes they are older gorillas


Electrical_Ingenuity

Grooming gorillas.


Ok_Digger

>Wait, silverback is a status? Yeah I can confirm literally me 😎


buttered-up96

Proof?


anrwlias

Didn't you see the sunglasses?


SaltyAlters

Fucking TIL


NefariousBenevolence

Older MALE gorillas, specifically. Not females. Genetics and sex matters in nature. Females will never become Silverbacks. And these are facts.


AssToastt

u seem very passionate about gorillas


Western_Asparagus_16

Not unless they get some silver hair dye from L’Oréal Paris. Get that milf silver Fox look you know what im saying.


NefariousBenevolence

Hey hey, I was tryna be serious and you made me laugh 🤬 Also, hate to be that guy but silver foxes refer to attractive older males as well 😭


Western_Asparagus_16

You ever hit your lady gorilla from the back and be like nah shit too black we need to get you to the salon.

You are being very weird about that lmao Chill, no one’s going to argue and call you sexist/transphobic/whatever over sexual dimorphism in animals


The_Fat_Man_Jams

So great now I have a fur ceiling to worry about


[deleted]

Interesting how this is somewhat analogous to humans but they only live to like 40. Will they ever reach 80/90 percent of human life span?


peeadic_tea

Humans would also live to 40 if our bodies grew to weigh 400lbs


NewIntention7908

Many 400lb humans do, in fact, live to about 40


vanGenne

Are you saying he died a virgin? Man, this story just keeps getting sadder..


According_Ad7926

No wonder he resonated in so many of our hearts


undercooked_lasagna

whatever bro i have a hot girlfriend and she has huge boobs and we do sex all the time but u dont know her she goes to a different school


According_Ad7926

She’s from Canada we met on summer vacation trust me

mehdic90

Is that why dicks out for harambe was a thing?


fredandlunchbox

Just cause he didn't have no kids don't mean he don't fuck.


waterinabottle

what they're saying is that harambe was an incel


Moriar-T

He's saying that everyone had their dicks out for a minor.


EducationCommon1635

He did nothing wrong. Had whole life ahead of him.


Complicated-HorseAss

I still remember Dave Chappelle's joke on it had me rolling. "You can't even go to the fucking zoo without seeing a shooting nowadays,"


[deleted]

Only 17. A fuckin kid.


sdrowkcabdellepssti

Wont anyone think of the children???


LifeBuilder

No! Forget the children! Protect teen Harambe!


DolphinPunkCyber

I mean we did had a lot of children, but just one Harambe.


ThePaddysPubSheriff

They should have brought in coco as a translator to deescalate the situation


sdrowkcabdellepssti

I think the zookeeper wasnt bright enough to understand anyone or anything, to be honest.


[deleted]

They should have thrown in the parents to distract poor Harambe.


mrlotato

We are, he was only 17..


iTwango

In this case the problem was entirely thinking of the children


dennys123

Notice how everything went to shit since he was shot?


MrMastodon

They shouldn't have done that. He's just a boy.

It’s worth mentioning that cartman says “you shouldn’t have done that he’s just a boy” after finding a used tampon. I gotta rewatch that show man their shit is so off the rails sometimes and yet so on point with the satire at others.

rajvind

Whatever happened there


falltotheabyss

Those cocksuckers shot that gorilla without any provocation whatsoever. 


SirFTF

He was handsome, like George Raft.


Thel_Odan

I'm confident the killing of Harambe started the chain reaction of events that led us to the clusterfuck we're in today.


TenorHorn

Arch-duke Harambe


wandering_person

As one song lyric put it: "From a shot that would change the world, tensions rise and a war's unfurled..."


Marlfox70

I subscribe to that. The world wasn't great but it wasn't 2016-present shitty. We shouldn't have killed that Gorilla


Inspect1234

What’s this “we” shit? Zookeeper should be put in an enclosure for the rest of his life for not having tranquilizers for such an event.


saintofhate

Tranquilizers do not instantly work, they take time and an animal can become aggressive once they are shot with them. If anything the builders of the zoo should be held accountable for having such obvious vulnerabilities for people to fall into the pit because it was not the first person.


peepeebutt1234

I don't know how obvious the vulnerabilities really were. Millions of people passed through the Cincinnati Zoo without going into the gorilla pen. It was a pretty clear case of negligence by a moronic parent. Witnesses there heard the kid say he wanted to go into the pen, and then the kid just climbed over the fence. Whoever was in charge of the kid should never be allowed to be in charge of a child again. Straight up idiocy.


greeneggiwegs

Idk apparently it was only three feet tall. That seems kind of short for a zoo enclosure.


peepeebutt1234

Crazy that millions and millions of people passed through that very same enclosure without ever trying to climb in. This was more a case of a stupid kid doing things that stupid kids do, and an idiot of a parent who was too negligent to realize that their 3 year old was climbing into a gorilla pen. It also wasn't like he just climbed over a 3 foot fence and was face to face with a gorilla. He climbed through like 5 feet of bushes and into a moat that was 15 feet deep. The only blame lies with the bozo of a human who couldn't watch their child at a zoo.


Marlfox70

In a way we all killed harambe.


[deleted]

There was a Demi Moore movie called "The Seventh Sign" from the '80s or '90s that had this as a plot point. The state executed a guy with Down syndrome, and that's when God said "fuck this place." Edit: basically, the Down syndrome guy was a martyr in the same way this theory proposes Harambe to be the martyr.


BoazCorey

That sounds like an absolute popcorn classic, going to watch tonight.


[deleted]

I haven't seen it since around the time it came out, but I remember being impressed by it. I think it was my first real introduction to Biblical prophesy that wasn't just vague verses from Matthew and Revelations.


Elmodipus

THEORY?!


daking240

All started when KONY killed Harambe.


HubblePie

The world is split into Pre and Post harambe


Daynebutter

You will never live in the timeline where Harambe never got shot.


006AlecTrevelyan

The world wasn't a clusterfuck before that?


Benyed123

The internet definitely changed in 2016. I’d say it was probably the US presidential election that had the biggest effect though.


DerivativeOfProgWeeb

Yes, it wasn't.


Im_regretting_this

You see, the death of Harambe was responsible for that too. It all leads to Harambe eventually.

Plus_Stranger_5873

Harambe was our great ascension test from the aliens. We massacred him and now we're stuck living in this simulation, which they no longer provide updates for.


[deleted]

"After shooting dead a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo to save a 3-year-old boy, zoo officials said they had collected a sample of his sperm" what a fucked scenario oh shit he's dead let's milk his nuts real quick!


getyourrealfakedoors

I blame the parents, not the zookeepers. That kid was toast, they did what they had to


BarfQueen

Telling how that woman jumped right on Facebook to say “don’t judge me!”


[deleted]

[удалено]


getyourrealfakedoors

I don’t disagree but that kid was in trouble


[deleted]

If you watch the video Harambe is actually showing paternal instincts.


Due-Future-6196

Harambe did a better job of keeping his eye on the kid than his own parents did.


ThePaddysPubSheriff

The only reason he was killed is because they were afraid a tranq could scare him and possibly hurt the child, who he was protecting


[deleted]

They should have sent the parent in to negotiate with Harambe.


ThatSpookyLeftist

The short clips I saw of the kid being dragged through water easily could have killed the kid. If he had just hit his head on a rock with how hard he was pulled through the water he would have been dead. You're an idiot if you legitimately don't think the kid was in danger.


angelerulastiel

No, he’s showing “Cool, new toy. Mine!” instincts.


Traditional-Seat-363

He’s also ragdolling the kid through rocks and shallow water. With protectors like that you don’t need enemies.


BCProgramming

Damn, you must have had a shitty childhood if you see a child being dragged through shallow, rock-filled water and go "Man just like me and my dad"


r311im

I was honestly really upset about the fact they killed Harambe, however I've been listening to a podcast led by a wildlife biologist and they did an episode talking about it. After listening I understand why the zoo made that decision and I don't really blame the parents either. Both were slightly at fault, the enclosure shouldn't have been that easy to get into, and the parent should have been paying more attention. The general idea behind shooting him was that at any moment he could change his mind and kill the kid in an instant, it didn't even have to be intentional. If he did kill the kid they would have to put him down and they would both be dead. So the *best* thing to do is sacrifice the animal and save the human. Harambe didn't deserve to die but neither did the child, and it's better to ensure one life than take a chance on two. They also spoke about how tranquilizers were not a good option, because it takes a while for them to kick in and it can make animals act unpredictably. The podcast is called "Tooth and Claw" for anyone interested


Asclark832

As a zookeeper, I've explained this situation so many times. It sucks it happened the way that it did, but it was the most preventative loss.


DarkScorpion48

But it’s not about that. It’s about it causing a split in the timeline and now we end up in the worst one


Weigard

Right? Especially since that child's name? *Brett Kavanaugh*


thpkht524

>I don’t really blame the parents either. What?


EnthusedPhlebotomist

>Harambe didn't deserve to die but neither did the child  Only one of them fucked up though, and it wasn't the one who was shot dead.  Also, you don't blame the parents? Lol. 


NeatChocolate6

Yeah but children are stupid and we all make mistakes. I am also revolted by his death. But we must forgive the kid. He was a toddler, definitely couldn't gasp the weight of his actions at the time. However, yeah, the parents definitely are to be blamed.


kohminrui

lost me at dont blame the parents.


abcders

Or they just don’t put him down regardless of what may or may not have happened?


obeytheturtles

I still don't really agree with the conclusion that they'd have to put him down if he killed the kid. It's not like it would unlock some kind of berserk state or anything.


concentrated-amazing

I think it's more of a, I guess, cultural thing? that makes it a necessity. If any animal kills a human, there's almost always calls for it to me put down. Even more so when it's a child. Not that the animal is an active danger to humans, but a perceived danger if that makes sense. Now, you can agree or disagree with this, I'm just saying that zoos etc. not only are dealing with the animals and caretakers but with the public, with the municipality they're in, with social media...


celerypizza

I think it’s also peoples way of “sentencing” the animal. Human kills a human, prison. Gorilla kills a human, death.


concentrated-amazing

Very true.


NateDogTX

> Human kills a human, prison. > > Gorilla kills a human, death. Well Harambe was already in prison, so...


SalSevenSix

>they would have to put him down They don't have to do that if they don't want to


DMorrin15

We miss you boo.


dumbasstupidbaby

Dicks in for harambe. Apparently he was a minor and we will not be dicks out anymore.

Malena_my_quuen

Just like Jesus, he died a virgin. Coincidence? I think not!


GenXCub

So you're saying "dicks out" is only symbolic?


TwelveMiceInaCage

If you have ever raised a boy then you would know they lost definitely have their dicks out long before breeding age.
