Harambè was a minor character in the SuperMarioLogan series of videos who made a major appearance in "Jeffy Goes To The Zoo!". He is first seen when Mario and Jeffy go with Brooklyn Guy to the gorilla exhibit at the zoo. While Mario was distracted talking to Brooklyn T Guy, Jeffy accidentally went into Harambe's enclosure which later led to an attack, causing Brooklyn T. Guy to shoot Harambe to his death.
He later makes a short cameo in "The Past Machine!", where he is brought back to life by Cody, then he beats up Cody and runs away. However, he was shot again offscreen, later, due to Bowser Junior using the Big Bang, Harambe remains deceased, as he was never brought back to life. It is interesting to note that in this video, he is a regular puppet, rather than a person in a gorilla suit.
According to some fans, he is similar to the Gorilla from SpongeBob SquarePants and other Sasquatches from the Butchy Kid YouTube videos in appearance and personality. He died one day after his 17th birthday in 2016.
Trivia[]
- Harambe was a Western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla), a subspecies of the Western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla).
- Just like what Brooklyn T. Guy said, Western lowland gorillas don't really eat bananas, they instead eat insects, bamboo, eggs, small mammals, reptiles, fruits, vegetables, grass and leaves.
- He is actually a real life gorilla of the same name who died in 2016 after he was fatefully shot and killed, when a child fell into his exhibit on purpose, causing outrage from people and turning him into a meme.
