Ah, Harambe. The gorilla who died is now the meme that will never ever die, thanks to a legion of internet users that keep his spirit alive.

Take 14-year-old highschooler Finn Cattaway from New Zealand, who had just won the Otago Daily Times current events quiz on Thursday.

It's a proud moment for the teenager, who got his name and photo in the newspaper alongside his teammates Chris Hawkins and James Light.

However, his dedication to the fallen animal became the focal point. Cattaway told the paper that the death of Harambe shouldn't be forgotten: "We still haven't had justice for Harambe," he said.

If you're curious about the result, the team won with a 97 percent score to beat 54 other teams.

Of course, it's not the first time schoolkids have tried to pull off some Harambe-related trolling. There were those girls who immortalised the gorilla in their ID photos, or the kid who dubbed a waterslide Harambe in a naming competition and won.

Anyway, here's snippets of Cattaway dedicating the win in the paper. Looks like Harambe will never die in our hearts and minds.
