"He just had two girlfriends and no babies yet, cause he's young, and you know, instead of being disappointed and making him feel like, you know, I just didn't want him to feel like OH... like everybody else is walking in and saying OH the babies aren't out, you know, and they'd be disappointed, like oh no, I can't. You know, I was just developing a relationship with him where he felt comfortable with me and my camera. Harambe was one of those where you just knew somebody was inside. I mean, it was, you know, I, I say I talked to him, that's mentally I'm not speaking out loud, but I felt like I talked to him all the time. And I felt he communicated with me and he seemed to be highly intelligent and interested in what was going on. And his personality with me seemed to be like he was always screwing with me, like, you know, oh, you want me to do this? So I'll do that. You know, it just seemed like we had, you know, a good relationship in that, that way, where he smiled at me all the time and that just, you know, made you feel good, you know?"
