The 3-year-old boy confessed that he wanted to take a selfie with Harambe the 17-year-old, 400-pound, silverback gorilla only after police confronted the boy with a monopod and camera recovered from the top of the primate enclosure.

Pictures from the camera digitally document in a series of shots taken the incident.

“The first few photos show the boy climbing over the barrier wall,” said police.

The next set shows the boy crawling through the protective brush and thicket.

The final photo, shows a look of surprise on the boy’s face as he tumbles down 15 feet into the gorilla enclosure moat.

Police say they will present their findings to the district attorney who will determine if the boy’s family will be charged with any crimes.

Artist Rendition of Harambe the Gorilla Just Moments Before His Death Released by Cincinnati Zoo Officials

Claiming that the actual footage captured by the gorilla enclosure’s security camera is too graphic to release to the public, Cincinnati zoo officials instead released an artist rendition of Harambe, the 400 pound, 17-tear-old rare silverback gorilla, just moments before his was euthanized.

An action Cincinnati zoo officials have consistently maintained was necessary to save the 3-year-old boy who fell into the gorilla enclosure last week.

All most immediately after the killing of Harambe, zoo officials become the latest targets of social media.

Even with the release of the artist rendition of Hamrambe’s final moments, however, critics took to social media, criticizing the zoo officials for releasing the artist rendition, calling it bias, inaccurate and insensitive.

“The portrait couldn’t be any more accurate,” insisted the director of the zoo. “That’s exactly how Harambe looked just before we had to put him down. In fact, all that’s missing from the drawing is the cross-hairs.”
