Child falls into gorilla pit at zoo
Jambo shot to international news stardom overnight on August 31, 1986, when five year old Levan Merritt fell into the gorilla enclosure and lost consciousness. Jambo stood guard over the boy when he was unconscious, placing himself between the boy and other gorillas in what ethologists analyze as a protective gesture. He later stroked the unconscious boy.

Most of the drama was shot on home video by Brian Le Lion, and extensively photographed by bystanding zoo visitors
