The Harambe statue is a seven-foot-tall, bronze sculpture of the deceased western lowland gorilla Harambe designed by a civic group called Sapien.Network. It first appeared in public on Monday October 18, 2021, on Wall Street, New York City, New York, facing the Charging Bull statue. Beneath Charging Bull were 10,000 bananas (later donated to charity).[1]
