Harambe the gorilla has become a controversial mascot for a Cincinnati school's football team.
The male silverback gorilla was shot dead in at Cincinnati Zoo in May after a young child fell into his enclosure.
Images and videos have emerged on social media showing a person dressed in a gorilla outfit at the school's football game, the Independent reports.
Images show the gorilla dragging a child by the arm around the football pitch, similar to the way in which Harambe dragged the 3-year-old around his enclosure.
