USDA to review gorilla"s death; zoo to look at safety of exhibits


Bad Child Gets 400 Pound Gorilla Harambe Killed at Cincinnati Zoo (Redsilverj)

Cincinnati Zoo is safe.

Zoo officials made the right decision.

And they"re not looking to place blame.

Those are among the key pointsCincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard madeat a packed newsconference on Monday afternoonto address the death of Harambe, the17-year-old western lowland gorilla killed Saturday after a child fellinto his Gorilla World exhibit.

"It"s unprecedented," Maynard told the crowd of assembled reporters. "We have never had to kill a dangerous animal in the middle of an emergency situation. The zoo"s been here143 years, so that"s saying a lot."

Gorilla World"s barrier setup exceeds required protocols and has been in place for 38 years without incident, Maynard said.Exhibits areinspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculturetwice a year and by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums every five years for accreditation, he said.

"The exhibit is safe, the barrier is safe," he said. "The zoo was not negligent."

Even so, Maynard said the exhibit, which he describes as "very similar" to gorilla exhibits at other zoos, is under review. Zoo officials are looking to see what, if anything, needs to be done to reinforce the barrier. He could not say if additional measures would be in place when the exhibit reopens, which he hopes will be Saturday.

Zoo officials will also review other areas around the zoo to see what, if any, improvements should be made to protect the zoo"s 1.6 million yearly visitors, as well as its animals.

Andthe USDA,which is charged with enforcing the Animal Welfare Act and Endangered Species Act,will investigate, he said.

"We take safety very seriously," Maynardsaid. "That"s an ongoing process."

New details emerge on incident

Maynard offered more specific details about Saturday"s incident. Zoo officials have pieced it together as follows:

Just before 4 p.m., a 4-year-old boy went over a stainless steel rail that"s a little more than 3 feet high, with vertical bars every eight feet. He made his way through the bushes to the edge of the moat, a distance of approximately 4 feet. From there, he dropped15 feet to themoat, into afoot and a half of water. The boy, who has not been identified yet by authorities,started splashing around.

Keepers tried to call the gorillas inside. Two females in the exhibit complied. Harambe did not.

Zoo visitors and there were plenty of them, more than 7,000 on Saturday reacted.

Harambe heard the commotion. Then, he spotted the child. The gorilla went down into the water andgrabbed the boy by the ankle. Harambecarried the boy up a ladder to dry land andcontinued dragging him around.

A security team emptied the exhibit. Soon, the zoo"sdangerous animal response team dispatchedHarambe with a single shot.

The decision was not made lightly, Maynard said. The child"s life was in danger.

"This child was being dragged around; his head was banging on the concrete," Maynardsaid. "This is not a gentle thing. The child was at risk."

TranquilizingHarambe would not have taken effectinstantaneouslyand might have resulted in displaced aggression toward the child, Maynard said. And withHarambe"s strength, such aggression could have been extremelydangerous.

Western lowland gorillasare three times bigger than a human, with arms as big as our legs, and about six times stronger, Maynardestimated. The zoo directorhad seen Harambe, who weighed in at more than 420 pounds, crush a coconut with onehand.

And the gorilla, known by his keepers as being handsome, smart and easy to train, was already "agitated and disoriented" by the boy"s presence.

"In the real world, you make difficult calls, but you have to make them," Maynard said. "The safety of that child was paramount.

"We stand by our decision," he said. "Wed make the same call."

"You can"t take a risk with a silverback gorilla"

Maynard addressed the numerous people on social media and elsewherewho don"t agree with that decision.

"People who question that or are Monday morning quarterbacks or second-guessers don"tunderstand that you can"t take a risk with a silverback gorilla," he said.

The Cincinnati Zoo has received messages of sympathy and empathy from zoo personnel from around the world, up to and including Jane Goodall.

"People that know gorillas well people who research them in the wild, people who work with them in captivity know exactly what decision was made and why," he said.

He also declined to place blame, which the social media frenzy surrounding the incident has done in large quantities, with venom particularly aimed at the boy"s mother for not watching him more closely.

TheCincinnati Zoo, Maynard said,is "taking responsibility."

"I"m not a big finger-pointer," he said. "Politicians and pundits point fingers. We live in the real world and we make real decisions. People, kids and others, can climb over barriers."

He equated it to locking your house or your car."If someone really wants to get in, they can," he said.

However, he did see a lesson to take away. Everybody should keep a hold of their kids and keep an eye on them, here or anywhere," he said.

Maynard said zoo officials have not been in touch with the boy"s familyand that the zoo does not intend to press any charges. He doesn"t know if there will be other legal ramifications for the zoo or family, but he is hopeful there will not be.

Maynard said the incident won"t impact plans for a $12 million expansion to Gorilla World expected to be completed next year.

Overall, Maynard pointed out the incident was sad, but could have been worse.

"Harambe was one of our most magnificent animals and a critically endangered species," he said. "It is a big loss.That said, we are very glad that the little boy is OK. That is one happy thing in a dangerous and sad story."

Fab or flop: Mariah Carey"s leather, Demi Lovato"s lace-up boots and more


Mariah Carey - Without You (Official Video)

Aol.com Editors

May 29th 2016 11:18AM

Flop: Yikes! Mariah Carey totally missed the mark in a garrish head-to-toe leather ensemble. The singer totally overdid it with her leather jacket, leather skinnies, leather booties and leather bag.

(Photo by Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Flop: Demi Lovato"s shins were white from her tightly-bound, thigh-high boots. We might have liked them with a simpler dress instead of the cape-adorned piece she opted for.

(Photo by RB/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Fab: Model Bella Hadid kept it simple in black skinnies, booties and a leather jacket. Sometimes, less is more!

(Photo by Marc Piasecki/GC Images)

Flop: P!nk looked absolutely wild in a massive tie-dye muumuu, silver platform sandals and a pink coif to top it all off.

(Photo by TSM/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Flop: Andi Dorfman"s white lace jumpsuit was giving us serious bridal vibes. Plus, it didn"t fit her figure well.

(Photo by Josiah Kamau/BuzzFoto via Getty Images)

Fab: Stassi Schroeder looked incredible and effortless in simple white cropped slacks, an asymmetrical white strapless top and strappy sandals.

(Photo by GP/Star Max/GC Images)

Flop: Emily Blunt"s bright purple pants might have looked better with a more structured T-shirt and sans floppy camel hat.

(Photo by Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Flop: Tara Reid looked stuck in the 2000s in white jeans tucked into knee-high heeled boots and a flashy Gucci belt.

(Photo by Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Fab: Kendall Jenner killed it in distressed jeans, heeled booties and an ultra-cool floor-length duster jacket.

(Photo by SAV/GC Images)

Flop: Kim Kardashian looked killer in her gauzy black bodycon dress, but the witchy boots totally killed her otherwise sleek vibe.

(Photo by Neil Mockford/GC Images)

Flop:We"re really not sure what Priyanka Chopra was dressing for when she stepped into leather capris, combat boots and a hooded sweater.

(Photo by Milind Shelte/India Today Group/Getty Images)

Fab: Kendall Jenner wowed in a fabulous asymmetrical minidress with fun purple embellishments dotting the skirt. Red lips and a flirty ponytail completed her perfect look.

Flop: Diane Kruger looked like she was headed to Disneyworld in the "90s in mom jeans, an oversized denim jacket, beret and white sneakers.

Fab: Miranda Kerr looked sleek in leather skinnies, an olive green moto jacket and black espadrilles.

(Photo by GVK/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Flop: We actually love Brooklyn Decker"s floral moto jacket and her sheer floral dress, but together, it looked like a big ol" mess.

(Photo by Patricia Schlein/Star Max/GC Images)

Fab: Rose Byrne totally stunned in a gold star-adorned black spaghetti-strap dress, pointy stilettos and a black lariat necklace.

(Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images)

Flop: Fiona Wade looked like a superhero in a leather strapless leotard and sheer, partial skirt.

(Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage)

Fab: ModelMartha Hunt stunned in a simple black slipdress, sandals and a blazer. Undone hair and pretty, natural makeup completed her effortless look.

(Photo by Josiah Kamau/BuzzFoto via Getty Images)

Flop: Lizzy Caplan"s sunny yellow dress was adorable, but we didn"t love the n**e panel in the back and the clunky black sandals were a bit too heavy for the easy, breezy summer look.

(Photo by Patricia Schlein/Star Max/GC Images)

Fab: Rihanna had the right idea when she paired her breezy strapless summer dress with lightweight white sneakers. A metallic bag added a touch of sparkle and structure to her simple ensemble.

(Photo by Robert Kamau/GC Images)

Flop: Reese Witherspoon is unapologetically preppy -- and we love it -- but the yellow bag and yellow flats were a little too matchy-matchy (bordering on cheesy) for our taste.

(Photo by GONZALO/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Fab: Alessandra Ambrosio flashed her abs in cute high-waisted mom jeans, a striped crop top and sandals. A messy topknot and leather bag completed her perfect errand-running ensemble.

(Photo by Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Flop: Cynthia Erivo mised the mark in a frumpy gray capri-suit over a sheer shirt.

(Photo by Demis Maryannakis/Star Max/GC Images)

Fab: Kendall Jenner looked like a total rockstar in lightwash denim, a white T-shirt with lacy lingerie layered on top and a patchwork jacket.

(Photo by GVK/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Flop: Emilia Clarke"s pretty blue dress erred on the side of matronly and outdated.

(Photo by Josiah Kamau/BuzzFoto via Getty Images)

Fab: Diane Krueger definitely turned heads in this mirrored minidress. We love the exaggerated shoulders and to-die-for fit.

(Photo by Christian Marquardt/WireImage)

Flop: Kourtney Kardashian and her family have been rocking gorgeous, sleek, sophisticated looks lately, but the reality star totally threw it back circa mid-2000s in this tacky Vegas ensemble.

(Photo by Denise Truscello/WireImage)

Fab: Khloe Kardashian flaunted her incredible figure in a skintight latex dress that exposed her cleavage.White pointy pumps and sexy waves compelted her fabulous look.

HIDE CAPTION

Styling leather can be tricky -- too much of it and your look can end up in gaudy territory.

That"s exactly what happened to Mariah Carey this week when she stepped out in head-to-toe leather. Her outfit, which consisted of a size-too-small black leather jacket, black leather skinnies, black leather booties and a black leather bag, had us totally cringing! Pro tip: mix and match one or two of these items with other materials for a more toned-down ensemble.

SEE ALSO: Sexy Stars: This week"s sexiest celeb styles

Carey wasn"t the only one to totally miss the mark this week in a garrish ensemble. Fellow powerhouse singer, Demi Lovato, rocked a wild, thigh-high lace-up boots on stage this week that could have been loosened up a bit ... Her shins were paper white!

Unlike Carey and Lovato, Bella Hadid was able to pull off an edgy ensemble. The model rocked black skinnies and sleek booties with a moto jacket and matching satchel. Sometimes, less is more!

"X-Men" takes top spot as "Alice" flops at Memorial Day box office


Ronald Reagan Memorial Day Remarks at Arlington National Cemetery 1986

"X-Men: Apocalypse" took the top spot with an estimated $80 million at North American box office over the four day weekend.

The 20th Century Fox comic book film, which stars Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy as the mutant heroes, had an opening in line with industry expectations and put it in the middle of the pack of the very successful X-Men franchise.

However, the latest film in the X-Men saga was a big drop off from "X-Men: Days of Future Past," which opened to $110.5 million on Memorial Day weekend in 2014, according to comScore (SCOR).

Coming in a distant second for the long weekend was Disney (DIS)"s "Alice Through The Looking Glass."

The sequel starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter brought in a four day total of $34.2 million. This was far below expectations of a $60 million weekend and a really rough start for a film that has a budget of $170 million.

"Alice Through The Looking Glass" starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter flopped at this weekend"s box office.

It"s also a far cry from the box office success of 2010"s "Alice in Wonderland." That film opened to $116.1 million before going on to make over $1 billion worldwide.

The film was panned by critics, who gave it a 30% score on review site Rotten Tomatoes.

It opened as Depp"s wife Amber Heard was granted a temporary restraining order on Friday against her husband, whom she claims has been abusive.

"The Angry Birds Movie," "Captain America: Civil War," and "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" made up the rest of the top five at the box office.

The weekend was a bit on the soft side for the industry, bringing in an estimated $204 million. But was up 5% from 2015"s Memorial Day weekend, one of the worst in recent years.

With Memorial Day behind it, the industry now looks at an intriguing June that could have some sequel standouts with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows," "Finding Dory," and "Independence Day: Resurgence."

"Idol" winner joins Adkins, Beach Boys for Memorial Day Concert


Beach Boys - Wouldn"t It Be Nice

WASHINGTON h**l go down in music and television history as the 15th and final champion of American Idol, having won the shows farewell season.

Now, Trent Harmon comes to the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitolto sing the national anthem at this weekendsNational Memorial Day Concert, which airs live Sunday night from 8-9:30 p.m.on PBS andaround the globeto U.S. military service memberson theAmerican Forces Network.

A frequent advocate of theWounded Warrior Project, Harmon says he might get choked up.

Man, I dont think theres going to be any more moving of a ceremony than being able to look out over that crowd, Harmon told WTOP. Im pretty sure Ill be able to hold it all together, but I really cant wait. I hope I have time to get there early or even maybe afterwardand just walk through Arlington, just kind of soak it all in. Its going to mean a lot to me. This is a big deal to me.

Turns out, WashingtonD.C. holds a special place in Harmons heart.

D.C. is my most favorite childhood memory as far as family vacations go, Harmon said. Being a history major throughout college, it was kind of an inspiring moment for me to go to D.C. as a ninth or tenth grader, so thats going to be an even bigger bucket list for me.

Its been a wild ride for Harmon sincewinning the Idol finale in April. The Mississippi native has since moved to Nashville to crank out songs for his upcoming record the prize for winning Idol.

Itsstrange, man, Harmon said. I look at this from such a contestant-to-artist perspective. Even being around Keith Urban, Harry Connick and J-Lo, its such an artist-to-contestant perspective.And in one moment, they announce your name as the winner of the show, and now its artist-to-artist.

He says hes still not used to beingpart of the Idol club.

Imbumping arms and having lunch with the Scotty McCrearys, the Katharine McPhees, the Carrie Underwoods, Harmon said in awe. Id be talking to David Cook and I would say, Oh, excuse me, Mr. David, and hed say, Man, you dont have to say that anymore. Youre one of us now."

The Idol fellowship will continue Sunday, as McPhee will also perform as part ofthe Memorial Day Concert, along withThe Beach Boys, National Symphony Orchestra, Alfie Boe and Trace Adkins,who often salutesfallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery with thehit country song, Arlington.

I actually got to seeThe Beach Boys in concert for the first time last summer and it was pretty surreal in itself, Harmon said. I hadnt even auditioned for[Idol] at that point, so now Im sharing a stage with them artist to artist. Thats kind of weird if you really say it out loud from my perspective.

Retired U.S. General Colin Powell will also make anappearance at the concert, which will beco-hosted by annual emcees Joe Mantegna andGary Sinise,the latter of whom joined WTOP last week.

We just wouldnt miss it, Sinise said. Its one of my favorite things to do each year. Its a great way to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed for our country we have great performers every year.

Sinise and Mantegna will also co-host MondaysNational Memorial Day Parade onConstitution Avenue. The parade will include performances byPhil Vassar, John Michael Montgomery and Tony Orlando. Itwill betelevised live nationally at 2 p.m. on REELZ network, locally onNews Channel 8 in D.C., streamed online on Military.com andaround the world on the American Forces Network.

The American Forces Networkuses seven satellites anddigital compression to broadcast events over 1,000 outlets in more than175 countriesand U.S. territories, as well as on board U.S. Navy ships.

But before you line up along the parade route onMonday, head down to the National Mall on Sunday andgrab a spot forthe 8 p.m. concert.The National Memorial Day Concert is free to the public.
