TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) - The Philadelphia Zoo welcomed a baby gorilla into the world this week, and to celebrate, it wants the internet to name the baby.

This will end well.

The internet is still up in arms about the death of Harambe, an endangered gorilla who was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo after a 3-year-old fell into his exhibit. Social media users and trolls have turned Harambe into an iconic, seemingly never-ending array of jokes and memes.The Cincinnati Zoo even deleted its Twitter account after it was repeatedly spammed with reminders of the fallen gorilla.

If the responses to this tweet from the Philadelphia Enquirer are any indication, the Philadelphia Zoo's baby gorilla naming contest might already have a front-runner.
