A mother whose three-year-old son fell into a gorilla enclosure is heard pleading for help in a 911 call released by police.
The woman, identified in US media as Michelle Gregg, repeatedly tells her son to "be calm" during the incident at Cincinnati Zoo.
But her panic is evident when addressing the operator.

She is heard saying: "My son fell in with the gorilla. There's a male gorilla standing over him. I need someone to contact the zoo please."
She goes on: "He's grabbing my son. I can't watch this. I can't watch."
Another witness, Catie Goodrich, says in a call: "There's a baby in the zoo that fell in the gorilla moat. Hurry! Hurry! The gorillas are out. Oh my god."
Within nine minutes of the first call the zoo's dangerous animal response team shot and killed the 200kg gorilla to protect the boy.
The killing of Harambe prompted anger around the world, with the parents reportedly receiving death threats and more than 450,000 people signing a petition calling for them to be investigated.
A source told Cincinnati.com that police have completed their investigation and no charges will be filed.
Two people have died after a shooting at the University of California's Los Angeles campus, in what police called a murder-suicide.
Los Angeles police chief Charlie Beck said on Wednesday the two were both males who were found in an office at the engineering school.
"A homicide and a suicide occurred," Beck told reporters near the scene. "It appears to be entirely contained".
Police said there was no longer a threat to the campus, which remained in lockdown for two hours.
Earlier, bioengineering student Bahjat Alirani described how police were directing people to run from the scene.
"I was in Boelter Hall to take a final and I exit the staircase to see SWAT-looking police yelling at everyone to evacuate immediately," Alirani told the Reuters news agency.
"I check my email and BruinAlert had immediately sent an email to all students notifying them of a shooter in the engineering building."
The university has more than 43,000 enrolled students, according to its website.
Police have been granted another year to investigate whether the Conservative party overspent to stop Nigel Farage becoming an MP.
A judge at Folkestone Magistrates Court has allowed officers in Kent more time to probe the contest in South Thanet - won by Tory Craig Mackinlay.
District judge Justin Barron said the claims surrounding the party’s expenses were on an "unprecedented scale" and could result in "election results being declared void".
Mr Mackinlay’s victory, by 2,800 votes, was a highlight of the General Election night for the Conservatives who had campaigned hard in the swing seat.
But an investigation has found hotel bills for Conservative campaigners staying nearby were not declared on his election return - which would have far exceeded the legal spending limits.
The Conservatives had sent teams of mainly young activists, known as Team 2015, across the country on battle buses to canvass for the party.
But their accommodation and travel costs were not always declared on each MP’s return.
Some were declared on the party’s national expenses, where the limits are higher.
The Conservatives insist these activists were campaigning nationally, not for individual MPs, and that all their spending was "properly declared in accordance with the law".
Making a false declaration is a criminal offence.
Mackinlay was up against Nigel Farage in South Thanet
Evidence from up to 30 constituencies the buses visited has now been referred to police who will investigate whether it was declared incorrectly.
There are understood to be 18 other police forces which have sought or been given an extension to investigate Conservative election expenses across the country.
Under the Representation of the People Act, police ordinarily only have one year after an election return has been submitted, to bring a case.
South Thanet was the only request which was contested by the Conservative party, who employed leading QC James Laddie to oppose the police being granted more time.
Spending limits for each constituency are small - it was £15,000 in South Thanet, and Mr Mackinlay’s return shows his campaign spent just within the limit at £14,837.
But hotel bills suggest another £18,900 was spent on putting up campaigners in local hotels.
The Electoral Commission are also investigating whether election rules were broken.
Judge Barron’s judgement says he extended the time limit due to "exceptional circumstances" and the "very significant public interest in the matter being fully investigated".
He said: "In this case the allegations are far reaching and the consequences of a conviction would be of a local and national significance with the potential for election result being declared void."
One of these circumstances was the "nature and extent of the enquiry with the involvement of the Electoral Commission and investigations taking place not just in South Thanet but across the country."
Mr Laddie had argued, for the Conservative party, that the allegations were made public by Channel 4 News in January and the police had not investigated the matter for several months.
The world's longest and deepest rail tunnel has officially opened in Switzerland, after almost two decades of construction work.
The 57km (35-mile) twin-bore Gotthard base tunnel will provide a high-speed rail link under the Swiss Alps between northern and southern Europe.
Switzerland says it will revolutionise European freight transport.
Goods currently carried on the route by a million lorries a year will go by train instead.
The tunnel has overtaken Japan's 53.9km Seikan rail tunnel as the longest in the world and pushed the 50.5km Channel Tunnel linking the UK and France into third place.
In a speech to guests in Erstfeld, near the northern entrance to the tunnel, Swiss Federal President Johann Schneider-Ammann said it was a "giant step for Switzerland but equally for our neighbours and the rest of the continent".
A live relay carried a speech from the southern end of the tunnel, in Bodio, by the Swiss federal transport minister, Doris Leuthard.
Afterwards two trains set off in opposite directions through the tunnel, each carrying hundreds of guests who had won tickets in a draw, and the new route was formally open.
A lavish show then got under way for the assembled guests in Erstfeld, with dancers, acrobats, singers and musicians celebrating Alpine culture and history.
European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, Italy's Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern also attended the day's events.
Mr Hollande, who took part with others in a follow-up trip through the tunnel on a train, emerged on the southern side to give a speech in which he compared the Gotthard to the Channel Tunnel.
Recalling the great Franco-British project, which was completed in 1994, he said: "Nobody could have imagined that one day you would be able to travel from England to France in that way."
"Since then we are more united than ever and I hope the British will remember that when the day comes," he added, to laughter and applause from the audience in the Swiss village of Pollegio.
The French leader went on to praise European aspirations, including the free movement of people and goods.
The presence of high-level guests at the opening shows that the new tunnel is about more than protecting the Alpine environment, the BBC's Imogen Foulkes reports.
Europe's goods, whether Italian wine for the Netherlands or German cars for Greece, have to cross the Alps. Now they will able to do so more quickly, more safely, and more cheaply, our correspondent says.
The project, which cost more than $12bn (£8.3bn) to build, was endorsed by Swiss voters in a referendum in 1992. Voters then backed a proposal from environmental groups to move all freight travelling through Switzerland from road to rail two years later.
The completed tunnel travels up to 2.3 km below the surface of the mountains above and through rock that reaches temperatures of 46C.
Engineers had to dig and blast through 73 different kinds of rock, some as hard as granite and others as soft as sugar. More than 28m tonnes of rock was excavated, which was then broken down to help make the concrete used to build the tunnel.
Now the completed tunnel, delivered on time and within budget, will create a mainline rail connection between Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Genoa in Italy.
When full services begin in December, the journey time for travellers between Zurich and Milan will be reduced by an hour to two hours and 40 minutes.
The tunnel's course is flat and straight instead of winding up through the mountains like the old rail tunnel and a road tunnel opened in 1980.
About 260 freight trains and 65 passenger trains will pass through the tunnel each day in a journey taking as little as 17 minutes.
The tunnel is being financed by value-added and fuel taxes, road charges on heavy vehicles and state loans that are due to be repaid within a decade.
Swiss bank Credit Suisse has said its economic benefits will include the easier movement of goods and increased tourism.
Nine workers died in accidents while the tunnel was under construction.
Four were Germans, three Italians, and one each came from South Africa and Austria, according to German news agency dpa. They are commemorated by a plaque near the northern end of the tunnel, Swiss media report.
A police investigation into the killing of a gorilla at Cincinnati Zoo after a three-year-old fell into an enclosure will focus on the boy's parents.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said the police would later "confer with our office on possible criminal charges".
The zoo says it had no choice but to kill the gorilla, and has defended its safety measures around the enclosure.
Animal activists have accused the zoo of negligence.
Stop Animal Exploitation Now, a Cincinnati-based animal rights group, said it had filed a federal complaint against the zoo with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The police said that their review of the incident "is only regarding the actions of the parents/family that led up to the incident and not related to the operation or safety of the Cincinnati Zoo."
The parents of the boy, who suffered minor injuries in the incident, have also faced heavy criticism on social media.
Cincinnati Police on Tuesday corrected earlier statements which had given the boy's age as four.
The case report provided by police states that witnesses said the gorilla at first appeared to be protecting the boy, but then grew agitated due to screaming onlookers. It then began to drag him.
The child fell into the enclosure of 17-year-old Harambe, an endangered western lowland gorilla, on Saturday.
Video footage showed the boy being dragged through shallow water by the animal. Zookeepers shot Harambe soon afterwards.
The zoo on Monday defended its actions, saying it had no choice but to shoot the gorilla as tranquilisers would not have worked in time to save the boy.
It also said its Gorilla World exhibit was safe and exceeded required protocols.
But Michael Budkie, of Stop Animal Exploitation Now, said the USDA should fine the zoo for having an exhibit that the public could access.
"What happened this weekend made it very clear that the physical barriers at the Cincinnati Zoo are not adequate to keep people out of the enclosures, obviously," he said, adding that the enclosure was reported to be over 30 years old.
He also said the zoo had been criticised back in March after two polar bears were able to wander out of their pen into a service hallway.
#JusticeForHarambe - How it's playing on social media
People were quick to take to social media after zoo officials defended the decisionto shoot the animal.
Eddie Whrnbrg wrote on Facebook: "...the zoos aren't the problem. It's the idiotic parents."
On Twitter @blxxm83 wrote: "So lazy parents can't control their wild kids and a beautiful endangered animal gets shot and killed because of it? #Harambe #RIPHarambe"
In another tweet @brittrosenthal wrote "Sad thing is it looked like #Harambe was protecting the kid more than the parent was. #CincinnatiZoo"
Some even called for Ms Gregg to be dismissed from her job.
Ms Gregg, posting on Facebook after the incident, said her son was "able to walk away with a concussion and a few scrapes... no broken bones or internal injuries".
She also had this to say to her critics: As a society we are quick to judge how a parent could take their eyes of of their child and if anyone knows me I keep a tight watch on my kids. Accidents happen but I am thankful people were in the right place today."
Her Facebook page has since been deleted.
About the same time as she made her comments, a Facebook group called Justice for Harambe was set up.
An online petition signed by more than 300,000 people was also created, calling for her to be held accountable for Harambe's death.

Social media users in Russia are voicing their anger at Twitter's decision to suspend popular accounts parodying President Vladimir Putin and other government officials.
A number of Twitter profiles, including parody Putin account @DarthPutinKGB and @Russia_Not, have been unavailable since Tuesday.
The @DarthPutinKGB account had attracted more than 50,000 followers before it was shut down.
A parody account of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, along with two others mocking the Russian Embassy in London and the Russian ambassador, were restored and available to users after a reported suspension on Tuesday.
Social media users launched the #NoGulagForDarthPutinKGB hashtag on Twitter in protest.
Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, an avid social media user, condemned the suspension, describing the @DarthPutinKGB profile as "one of the funniest parody accounts around".
In an interview, the creator of the parody Putin account told the The Moscow Times that the suspensions showed how sensitive officials have become about criticism of Russian leaders.
"I think that they cannot take being laughed at," The Moscow Times quoted him as saying, without identifying him by name.
The creator of the account said Twitter had not contacted him before the suspension.
There was no immediate response from Twitter.
On its website, Twitter says it does "not edit or remove" user content "except in response to a Term of Service violation or valid legal process.
"When we receive a valid impersonation or trademark report about an account that violates our parody policy, we temporarily suspend the account and may give the user the opportunity to come into compliance," Twitter's website says.
The Twitter rules and terms of service do not prohibit the creation of parody accounts, and users are required to write descriptions that "indicate that the user is not affiliated with the account subject by stating a word such as "parody", "fake", "fan" or "commentary".
