Harambe 2: Reports say a gorilla is on the loose in London Zoo

It's happening again...

London Zoo was placed under lockdown on Thursday evening following a gorilla reportedly breaking out from its enclosure. https://twitter.com/HeartLondonNews/status/786609787970674688 After confirming the breakout at 6pm London Zoo moved quickly to lock down the zoo, hoping to protect members of the public from the as yet unnamed gorilla. According to the London Zoo website, it has six gorillas. They are called Zaire, Mjukuu, Effie, Kumbuka, Alika and Gernot. The last two are younger gorillas, both less than two years old. As visitors to the zoo took to social media to better explain the situation, London Zoo made it known that it is their intention to tranquilize the gorilla, rather than put the animal down. The public are not believed to be at risk. https://twitter.com/CognitiveTwo/status/786605863775633408 https://twitter.com/crisclark/status/786607880099225600 https://twitter.com/WWWFConference/status/786604150905856000 At time of writing, some video has emerged of what appears to be animal trainers arriving at the zoo with the intention of apprehending the gorilla. https://twitter.com/hannahod/status/786610329287548928 Less than six months from the passing of Harambe (RIP the meme lord, for he died for our sins and is forever missed), we can only hope and pray another innocent noble gorilla isn't put down. *UPDATE* It looks like people have since been allowed to leave the zoo, and BBC News journalist Robert Rea's colleague was told that the incident was over. We still don't know exactly what happened, or whether there was even a gorilla roaming the park in the first place. https://twitter.com/robertrea/status/786619305341267968 https://twitter.com/robertrea/status/786619559079882752 Buzzfeed News report that staff were given the all-clear by 6:20pm, and it is thought the the gorilla was tranquillised.
