Jambo The Gorilla Made Headlines All Over The World 37 Years Ago

5-year-old Levan Merritt visited to the zoo with his brothers and parents exactly 37 years ago, in 1986. Unfortunately, what was meant to be a nice day quickly turned into a nightmare that the family would recall for the rest of their lives.

Reflecting on those challenging times, he shared, "It was a difficult period, but I just try to shrug it off". Take a look at the video below to watch the dramatic incident from 1986 unfold: What a story! Personally, I'm not surprised that the gorilla protected the little boy. These animals are incredibly intelligent and they are also kind. I don't think Jambo would have hurt this little boy! Please share this incredible story with your friends if you agree Jambo is one wonderful 'gentle giant'. strong>
