SUPER rare.

First of all, RIP Harambe. Second, be really careful when you eat your Cheetos.

The beloved gorilla, who was killed after he dragged a child who fell into his cage at the Cincinnati Zoo, instantly became an internet sensation last year. He was a candidate people actually voted for for president, and pretty much a symbol of everything that is good and righteous and innocent in the world.

People all over the globe have found ways to honor Harambe's life, but only one lucky person has found a blessing in the form of a Flamin' Hot Cheeto in the form of the deceased gorilla.

But don't fret just yet. You can buy it on Ebay. For a whole lot of money.

You can now begin your very own shrine for the gorilla by purchasing this Hot Cheeto in his likeness for a cool $99,999 from seller valuestampsinc.

The similarity is uncanny, really.

Here's the Cheeto next to a ruler if you need some perspective (not actual size, FYI):

119 people have already bid on the Cheeto and there are about 12 hours left in the auction.

If you have 100 grand to blow and love Harambe with your whole heart and soul, this is absolutely the purchase for you. It would certainly make the perfect addition to any collection.

Frame it, eat it, what have you. Just do something with it that would make Harambe proud.
