This is the three-year-old boy who fell into a gorilla enclosure, prompting zookeepers to kill the animal who grabbed and dragged him.

Isiah Dickerson was with his mother Michelle Gregg at Cincinnati Zoo, Ohio, when he somehow made his way through a barrier, into a moat - and was lifted up by Harambe. Within minutes the 17-year-old 450lb silverback was killed by zookeepers who feared for Isiah's safety.

Isiah is recovering from minor injuries and his mother has not been seen at the Cincinnati home where she lives. The decision has sparked a backlash, with calls for the boy's parents to be prosecuted.
